Syria, Yemen, and America’s Quest for Imperial Dominance
US interest in Yemen is certainly not rooted in altruism or a desire to promote democratic ideals.

In so doing, Washington once again shows itself to be an imperialist aggressor, interested only in maintaining and expanding the empire.

The Strait of Bab el-Mandab is a chokepoint between the horn of Africa and the Middle East, and a strategic link between the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean.” [9]
