🇾🇪 Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree during a speech today, May 13th, 2024: — Gaza is a red line for us, a red line. Our causes, holy sites, and our Islam are red lines, and we will not compromise on them. You heard Sayyed [Al-Houthi] in his last speech say there are no red lines for the Yemeni people, no red lines. If you have red lines, for us there are no red lines. We target things that the enemy hasn't thought of and can't imagine, things that neither the Yemeni people nor the people of the [Arab and Islamic] nation can imagine. And we will reach a stage, by Allah's will and strength, to the fifth and sixth stages, if the enemy continues its aggression on Gaza, where there will be actions that even Yemenis themselves can't imagine, nor can the Americans.

There will be no point in reconstructing Ukraine if it is defeated, NATO's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has said.

"The first thing I will say is that first of all, you need to ensure that Ukraine prevails. Because unless Ukraine prevails, there's nothing to reconstruct in the free and independent Ukraine. <...> And the second, reconstruction will be very expensive. But prevention is cheaper," he said.

For months, the Sudanese Armed Forces have accused the UAE of supporting the RSF - a charge the UAE denies. But a leaked UN report compiled by experts for the Security Council said it had “credible” evidence that suggested the UAE was providing military support to the paramilitary group via Chad. If these allegations are proven true, this means that both the UAE and Chad are complicit in the alleged crimes committed by the RSF against the Sudanese people.
