How many of us were given clues about the island of Socotra that made the news recently (June 21, 2020) when it was reported 1 that the Houthi rebels had taken the island of Socotra in the Yemeni government supported through the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ( KSA). “ Yemeni separatists seized the island of Socotra in the Arabian Sea, removing its governor and driving forces from the Saudi-subsidized government, (and) the Southern Transitional Council (STC led through the Houthis) announced that it had taken from the comforts of government and military bases on the main island of Socotra, a sparsely populated archipelago located at the mouth of the Gulf of Aden on one of the most important shipping lanes frequented by the world. Socotra Governor Ramzi Mahroos accused the leaders of the Saudi Arabia-United Arab Emirates (UAE) coalition of turning a blind eye. In the past, the UAE has subsidized STC forces with airstrikes in anti-government combat in the south The coalition intervened in Yemen in March 2015 after the Iran-aligned Houthis toppled the Saudi-subsidized government Saudi forcibly in the capital Sanaa in Late 2014 The Houthis say they are fighting a corrupt system. Socotra, a Unesco World Heritage site due to its unique flora and fauna, is situated on the seaway that connects Asia to Europe via the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, ”states the published report. in The Guardian. Ironically, this report is that the UAE and Saudi Arabia disagreed, while the former supported the Houthis and the latter opposed, and the UAE and Saudi Arabia are aligned with the concept of supporting Israel, as the United Arab Emirates formalized its relationship with Israel. and efforts (intimidation, coercion, etc. in the US component) for the KSA and other Gulf states are ongoing and it would not be unexpected for this to occur before or after the US president had met. returned to the polls in November 2020.
The big question is why has this sparsely populated island of Socotra become important? The answer lies, or rather as the saying goes, as to how the end justifies the means, the UAE made the decision for Israel to identify a spy base in Socotra, as revealed on August 28, 2020. ” Israel and the Emirates are making all the logistical arrangements to establish intelligence bases to collect intelligence in Bab Al-Mandab’s Gulf of Eden bay on the island of Socotra, which is under UAE control, JForum reported which mentioned Yemeni sources.
A delegation of Israeli and Emirati intelligence agents recently arrived on the island of Socotra and read about various locations to identify planned intelligence bases. The objective of this base would be to gather intelligence information in the region, specifically in Bab Al-Mandab and southern Yemen, as well as in the Gulf of Eden and the Horn of Africa. The report alleges that Tel Aviv’s surveillance centres monitor the movements of Houthi militants in Yemen and Iranian naval movements in the region, as well as read about maritime and air traffic in the south of the Network. Sea Region, 2 reports from The Middle East Monitor.
Should Israel prosecute Iran alone? Certainly not like Pakistan, the two countries considered to be ‘difficult to cook’ in terms of normalization with Israel will also be subjected to strong testing, as the port of Gwadar in Balochistan, Pakistan, is the point of arrival where China’s ultimate vital project, the Pakistan Economic Corridor, China (CPEC) will conclude to succeed in the global totalArray because China already knows that soon the United States and the Allies (India very well there) will suffocate China in the Strait of Malaca , and as a result, China now export its goal of linking a $7. 2 billion investment from its Kashgar province via the railway. “The United States needs Arab-Israeli to counter Beijing’s influence on routes of origin noted as a matter of life and death for the Chinese economy. “
Chances are no one will guess the extent to which the UAE will play a role in this facility, because obviously it would be an assignment throughout Israel, because ”what is planned for the official best friend” is that it will be watching for the Houthis. . socotra, which is located about 350 km south of Yemen and has a total domain of approximately 3,650 square kilometers. This archipelago of Socotra still has many of its uninhabited islands. So far two Socotra sites have been decided for espionage bases, namely the Momi region to the east of the island, where the Jamgua centre and a town to the west of the island will be built, where the Katanan Center ” will be established. 5 This will keep Israel a direct eye on the port of Gwadar in Pakistan, which will greatly encourage India’s Array because India is a harsh best friend of Israel and a rival of China and Pakistan. Geopolitical advances run strongly to The Merit of India, for which, ironically best friend, India has done nothing.
On the other hand, the Gulf States are doing everything they can to prevent Turkey from exerting any influence in the region. A clash between Turkey and Greece within the Mediterranean Sea is now unfolding over the discoveries of “oil, fuel and hydrocarbons. “Greece announced that it would enlarge its territorial waters from six to 12 nautical miles, which Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay called an act that would be the ”cause of war” on August 30, 2020. The United Arab Emirates, as well as France, have put their weight on Greece and are making efforts to drag Turkey into war anyway. Turkey is also a leader within the Muslim world, for the scourge of Saudi Arabia, because a new bloc with Pakistan, Iran, Malaysia, Turkey with the help of China and Russia are also on the map.
Israel, or for the U. S. case, simply cannot believe that the port of Gwadar becomes a business in the middle of the future, because the United States would only need the total allocation to drown in the Indian Ocean, therefore, a conclusion that can be drawn rightly that from now on Socotra The island will not be Houthi rebels , neither the United Arab Emirates nor YemenArray, but its total suzeraineté shall belong to Israel, that is, to the United States. Very soon, the world will see, genuine or false news, that an attack has taken place on Socotra, through the Houthis, which would allow Israel to enter Yemen to expel the Houthis, and thus take Israel to Israel alone in the garden of Saudi Arabia.
This conversion scenario is turning the global stage like never before, because Pakistan, which means China, would now be under Israeli radar and if sabotage occurred in Gwadar, Pakistan-China would blame Israel and the Gulf States in the same way, so Pakistan’s relations and gulf states will strain forever. The US policy of isolating China internationally, challenging it for superpower status, and, more recently, the spread of COVID-19, is achieving all the desired results.
Many in favor of India.
