Dr. Jumaan is president of the Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation. AP reports: “Early Saturday, Trump posted what appeared to be black-and-white video from a drone of a group of over 70 people gathered in a circle. An explosion detonates during the 25-second video, with a massive crater left in its wake.
“‘These Houthis gathered for instructions on an attack,’ Trump claimed, without offering a location for the attack or any other details about the strike. ‘Oops, there will be no attack by these Houthis! They will never sink our ships again!’” See report from AntiWar.com.
Jumaan highlighted an Arabic-language thread on X about the tribal gathering with over one million views which stressed the communal nature of such gatherings, which could be a wedding or community or religious gathering.
Jumaan said today: “It is a tribe in Sadaa at a tribal gathering. Within tribalism, you can’t get more sacred than this. The U.S. bombing such a thing is remarkable. The implications of this can’t be underestimated.”
