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 Arabian Sea island of Socotra, removing its governor and driving forces from the Saudi-subsidized government, (and) the Houthi-led Southern Transitional Council (STC) announced that it had seized the Government amenities 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 combat airstrikes against the government in the south. The coalition intervened in Yemen in March 2015 after Iran-aligned Houthis toppled the Saudi-subsidized government. Saudi by force in the capital, Sana’a, in the end. 2014 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 sea lane 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, while the United Arab Emirates formalized its relationship with Israel. and efforts (intimidation, coercion, etc. in the US component) for Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states are underway and it would not be unexpected for this to occur before or after the US president went 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 they say, as the purposes justify the means, the United Arab Emirates has made the decision for Israel to identify a spy base in Socotra. As revealed on 28 August 2020, Israel and the United Arab Emirates are making all logistical arrangements to establish intelligence bases to collect data in Bab Al-Mandab’s Gulf Bay of Eden on socotra Island, which is under the control of the Emirates, JForum reported bringing to 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. 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 southern Red Sea Region, 2 reports from The Middle East Monitor.
Should Israel prosecute Iran alone? Certainly not like Pakistan, the two countries considered ‘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 top 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 , and as a result, China now export its goal of linking a $7. 2 billion investment from its Kashgar province via rail. The resolution of the United Arab Emirates and Israel sounded the alarm in China as a detailed article in the South China Morning Post on August 29, 2020, completes China’s fears that “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 center of Jamgua and a town to the west of the island will be built, where the center of Katanan ” will be established. 5 This will make Israel look directly at the port of Gwadar in Pakistan, which will greatly encourage India’s Array because India is a tough 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 not to allow Turkey to exert 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. Both the United Arab Emirates and France have put their weight on Greece and efforts are being made to drag Turkey into war. Turkey is also a leader in 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 is 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 general Suzeraineté will belong to Israel, i. e. the United States. Very soon, the world will see, genuine or false news, that an attack was carried out on Socotra, through the Houthis, which would allow Israel to enter Yemen to expel the Houthis, and thus bring 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 relations between Pakistan and gulf states will be strained 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.
