'ISIS' and 'Houthis'... Terrorism, not Championships!
The article attacks ISIS, the Houthis, and Arab militias, considering them a major problem supported by major powers
Translated by Qiyas from النهار — Original source
Twenty years ago, ISIS announced the start of its operations in Iraq and, within a short period, managed to defeat the Iraqi army in western Iraq and approach Baghdad, as well as defeat the Syrian army in eastern Syria. The Iraqi army was backed by the United States, and the Syrian army by Russia, while ISIS faced a coalition of 60 countries that later expanded to 80 nations. At that time, the group was engaged in combat with the Peshmerga, the Free Syrian Army, and Hezbollah—powerful military organizations with hundreds of thousands of followers. Simultaneously, ISIS was fighting the Egyptian army in Sinai, the Yemeni army in Yemen, the Nigerian army, and some armies in Central African countries.

These days, similar talk is circulating about the extraordinary military capabilities of the Houthi militia, extending to praise for similar Arab militias or parallel armies operating in Arab homelands. These forces have destroyed agriculture and livestock, plunged Muslim Arab nations into internal and external civil wars, forced millions of their citizens to flee to camps and deserts, caused hundreds of thousands of deaths through famine and disease, and led to drownings in foreign seas and oceans. They have turned the future of their children and youth into utter darkness, replacing keyboards with Kalashnikovs, making death their only option: either kill the fellow citizens with whom they coexisted for thousands of years, or be killed by them. All Arab militias, without exception, are the root of all problems and cannot be part of any solution. Anyone who promotes or advocates for them, whether explicitly or implicitly, should examine either their mind or their conscience—or perhaps their pocket!

Finally, we arrive at the core issue: reason and logic. None of those militias and their leaders, who know nothing about modern military science and warfare, can achieve victories or inflict harm on their own. They lack economies, advanced technological universities, scientists, inventors, or arms factories. All achievements of those militias and their success in destroying their own homelands and harming others’ are due to covert support from hidden major powers that provide them with everything they need: specialists, professional military personnel, technology, money, and weapons. Anyone who wants to eliminate the destructive militia snake must deal with its head, not its tail!
