Where did I call them freedom fighters?

I certainly don't think the Y'alliban are freedom fighters.

I am no fan of the Houthis, but you can't just ignore that they were also oppressed by a dictator propped up by the USA and that they suffered one of the worst famines in the 21st century thanks to the USA and Saudi-Arabia.

They are Yemeni Nationalists propped up by Iran.

No one has clean hands in this conflict.

thanks to the USA and Saudi-Arabia.

This is the important fact to remember about Yemen. The US has been helping SA starve this country at least since 2016. Probably longer.

You should look up what aide orgs on the ground are saying because they universally blame the Houthi and KSA for stealing aid from non-combatants.
