The London Conference represented the real beginning of the aggression against Yemen by the Anglo-American alliance. The conference’s decisions amounted to international guardianship over Yemen, a violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a prelude to direct military intervention later.
A number of researchers, politicians, and those interested in international affairs revealed after the London conference held on December 25, 2009, that its goal was to occupy Yemen, so that it could confront the rising Chinese naval power.
At the same time, they warned the Arab countries against engaging in this Western project against Yemen because they would pay a heavy price.

–International guardianship
The sudden international interest in Yemeni affairs began with the London conference, which was held on December 25, 2009, at a British initiative, without consulting the government of Yemen, which attended it like the rest of the participants, while China was not invited to participate in the conference.

The conference decided to provide international support to the government of Yemen, provided that it adheres to the reforms of the International Monetary Fund, and to call for a donor conference to be held later to discuss the Yemeni reform program, and to assist the government of Yemen in combating Al-Qaeda, and to fully commit to implementing the international sanctions imposed in accordance with Security Council Resolution No. 1267 regarding entities and individuals. Supporters of terrorism.

The statement issued by the conference included an agreement to support Yemeni government initiatives to develop its capabilities in combating terrorism and enhance the security of its aviation and borders. This includes making efforts on the land and sea borders, including strengthening the capabilities of the Yemeni Coast Guard Force.

These decisions appear to be tantamount to international guardianship over Yemen and its later entry under Chapter Seven a few years later, before they launched the 2015 aggression against it through their agents in the region.

During the 1994 summer war, Britain made persistent efforts in the Security Council, supported by regional Arab countries, to bring Yemen under Chapter Seven, but they failed! .

–Military base

The decisions of the 2009 London Conference were parallel to the decisions of the United States of America’s request to provide the external appearance of a military base in Yemen by transforming the Yemeni island of Socotra from an airstrip into a full-fledged military base that allows Washington to launch from it to fight Al-Qaeda – according to its claims and pretexts, despite the fact that Al-Qaeda has been in place since the 2015 aggression and its occupation. The southern governorates of Yemen. The organization coexists with the occupiers (Saudi – Emirati) and with the recent Anglo-American aggression against Yemen. We have not found any condemnation or reaction to the Western project in Yemen since their aggression nine years ago, which makes one wonder about the reality of the organization and who supports it, stands behind it and moves it. As pretexts to achieve its goals and ambitions and as to the reasons for the organization’s presence in particular in Abyan Governorate since the 1960s of the last century until today?!

–Occupation of Yemen

It seems that the real target of the Anglo-American movement after the London conference is China and not Al-Qaeda. In addition, the United States of America cannot wrestle with China and confront it without occupying Yemen because the international movement towards Yemen is part of a larger global conflict, which is the global competition to control The Indian Ocean and the maritime straits in the region, and the trend of emerging Asian powers to shift towards possessing the naval power that enables them to achieve that control.

Today’s competition is between the United States of America, with Britain, India and Japan standing behind it, and China, supported by Asian countries.

The current conflict is more of a maritime conflict than a land conflict, and Washington and Beijing are the most important pillars of this conflict.

–Chinese emergence

China’s announcement in 2009 of its intention to establish a naval base in the Gulf of Aden to protect its ships was an early warning bell to international powers, especially America.

The announcement came in the context of China’s effort to develop the Chinese naval power, enabling it, for the first time in its history, to deploy its fleet in distant oceans in a way that can protect the transport lines of imported oil from Africa and the Arabian Gulf.

Perhaps the most important ocean crossed by the oil imported by China is the Indian Ocean. Oil has become the mainstay of the Chinese rise after China in 1993 became an oil importing country for the first time, and most of that imported Chinese oil passes through the Indian Ocean.

That is why the Anglo-American declaration came at the London conference regarding Yemen to block the way for Chinese action and tighten Western control over the sea lanes for transporting oil so that it would be easy to cut them off in the event of a collision between international powers, led by America, Britain, and China.

–The Zionist role

The United States is seeking to deprive China of its focal points in the Indian Ocean, while the Zionist entity present in the northern Red Sea threatens the national security of the Arab state overlooking the Red Sea, the most important of which is Egypt, as well as stifling China’s interests with some African countries, as it is the main supporter in the secession of South Sudan. .

The Zionist entity is keen not to disclose its role in the new major conflict against China so as not to anger Beijing after it succeeded in achieving important breakthroughs and establishing relations with it.

–Western project

It is clear from this that the western and southern coasts are the new arena of major conflicts.

It seems that there is no role for the Arab countries in these conflicts, except that it is an arena for them in the context of the aggression that has been taking place against Yemen for 9 years – and the Anglo-American aggression that is taking place today, as well as what has been happening in Gaza for four months of war and genocide in Gaza. By the Nazi Zionist entity and the support of Western countries, led by America, Britain and Germany –

This situation is part of the general Arab situation, where it seems that the balance of power in the Middle East has completely shifted in favor of non-Arab regional powers.

The harshest thing that Arab countries can do in this context is not to engage in international projects that take place within the framework of new conflicts, such as the Western project in their aggression against Yemen, because the Arabs will later pay the price for this involvement in the long run, exactly as they paid after their involvement in the Anglo-French project. Against the Ottoman Empire in the First World War 1914-1918 AD, and in the American project against the Soviets in Afghanistan in the eighties of the last century. And the Second Gulf War project in 1991 AD, the results of which were the presence of many American military bases in the region, and to this day the Arabs are still paying the price for their involvement in the projects of the Western colonial powers.
