In a region crucial to global trade, ideological rivals may now be
working together. United Nations and American intelligence reports
suggest that YemenrCOs Houthi insurgents and the Somali group Al-Shabaab rCo considered Al-QaedarCOs strongest affiliate rCo are exchanging logistical
and military resources, despite having no formal alliance.
These reported exchanges involve military technology, potentially
expanding Al-ShabaabrCOs operational reach beyond Somalia and further destabilizing an already fragile region.

Groups who previously had no reason to co-operate with each other are
put in a position to make ties and work for their benefit. This is
definitely the result of American aggression in the region.
American governments have always characterized these group as
terrorists. In reality, American policy in the region is true terrorism.
The idea that the whole world should cater to American interests or we
will bring our big guns to teach you a lesson.
