Yemen promised large Saudi donation - YouTube

Poor Yemenis.
We pledged 3.25 billion$. This will take time to materialize, we should provide food aid immediately.

 

[Armstrong]

Damn...! Pakistan should send some of our surplus wheat from our storages ASAP ! In the meantime Pakistan Red Crescent and numerous Welfare Organizations must be taken into confidence about the situation in Yemen and a proportionate response determined; the $20M that Zardari pledged to Afghanistan is much better served if food is bought of it and delivered to the UNICEF mission in Yemen !

 

[Al-Otaibi]

They are living one of their worst days. I hope this support will help them to get to a better tomorrow.

 

[RayKalm]

Inshallah, may God make the Yemenis stronger.

 

[T90TankGuy]

sad state of affairs . i do hope help reaches them quickly . good on KSA to commit to help those people.

I am completely pessimistic regarding helping any country what so ever. We help them today tomorrow you will see column writers saying it was to support terrorism. So in my opinion it is not our business.

, this is Yemen! our closest brothers. They are in their worst times, and you should help if you can. We are all don't have a shoulder to lean on in times of need but eachother. So, put a piece of sweet in it.

My Gosh! After seeing these clips of poverty in Yemen, Pakistan looks like a paradise!

Why is Yemen so poor?

Unfortunately we have a long history of helping countries that ended up turning its back on us and terrorism accusations. So in general I am against a single penny going outside our country in Aid. All of this should be invested in country to better it. Wither in Infrastructure or Industrial funds.

Look at Lebanon for instance: We helped them with countless Riyals in aid money and even made the famous Taif treaty which ended the civil war there. We built a huge amount of its infrastructure and now its TV is a miniature PressTV.
Look at Iraq: We helped them in their war and saved them from starvation and they ended up invading us.
Look at Afghanistan: We gave them countless amounts of Aid and they ended up hosting Al-Qaeda which is vowing to destroy our country.

The list goes on and on and on. And to top it all of we are blamed day and night of supporting terrorism. Seriously to hell with them I say. Let them starve and die starving if in the end they won't even say thank you. Instead of acting like a good Samaritan abroad how about being a good Samaritan in house for a change??

Why is Yemen so poor?

Civil war. Separatist Houthis to the north. Al-Qaeda controlled provinces to the south. And corrupt government.

Well if all those things happened and supposedly continue to happen in Pakistan, but the situation seems much worse in Yemen.

A population of 23 Million, 2,307 per capita. I think it may have to do with bad governing or something along those lines.

Lebanon indeed didn't deserve a single Riyal. This time its different, we were having a thumb war with the Iranians over Lebanon and we lost because of our government stupidity of solving every problem by only throwing money. Yemen on the other hand, we are trying to prevent them from falling into complete chaos and becoming a failed state. We don't want another Somalia right next to our borders. Moreover, the Yemenis are starving! They need food urgently. Its our duty to help as much as we can.

I think they learned from their mistake. GIP operatives no longer carry checks they carry guns now. We in general as a nation were like the rich kid in school. Now we grew up due to repeated slaps in the face from those who we once considered our best friends.

We should look at things in the manner of "How will this be in our interests" instead of "Let us do this and get some hasanat for it" Because that is just dumb. I just read the press conference about Yemen earlier. We are still being stupid saying "Houthis are part of the political process" and stuff like that. We should openly destroy all these things completely. And then help Yemen build itself in the form of easy loans and not Aid and grants.

Just like Lebanon we are giving the government money Ian is giving the opposition weapons. And thus we need to do the same thing.

I am well aware of this, but didn't u ask yourself, who are accusing KSA of this? they are few people who have the same agenda and religious background, but others do love KSA. Don't look at the little empty side of the glass. When KSA supports Yemen, she is actually helping herself, in other words, poverty and illiteracy will automatically lead into terrorism, extremism right next to KSA soft side. If KSA don't play a prominent role in plucking Yemen from this mud trap, somebody else will play it and fill the gap, -hint-: Iran, USA. Iran would absolutely be more than happy to turn Yemen into another Lebanon, and Huthies into an another Hizbullah. Believe me, KSA popularity is getting more than ever before everywhere. And that's why Iran is getting mad, it didn't use to see KSA with this enormous influence. If KSA don't fill the gaps in the region, someone else is absolutely going to. The last thing KSA want is US invasion of Yemen in excuse of Qauda, or another Iranian colony. If you don't fight outside your borders, you will get to a point where you will find yourself fighting in your own home, by then, it will be too late.

You make sense but as I said I am completely pessimistic about this.
