FORCES of the Houthi-led Yemeni government fired a missile towards Israel early today, hours after Israel carried out a wave of air strikes on Yemen’s main airport.

The Israeli military claimed the Yemeni missile was intercepted by its air defences before it entered Israeli territory. Air raid sirens were set off in several areas in central Israel.

A day earlier, a wave of Israeli air strikes hit Yemen’s main airport outside the capital Sanaa, killing three people and wounding dozens of others, according to the United Nations.

While much attention is focused on Israel’s aggression, we cannot ignore the conflicts in Africa, stoked by Western imperialism and greed for natural resources, if we’re to understand the full picture of geopolitics today, argues ROGER McKENZIE
