    Finally Yemen, nobody talks about what is happening there!
  • @mutazali4463
    As a Yemeni, I gotta say that this is one the best narrations of events of the war in Yemen. Thanks Johnny for making this video to inform people around the world about what is going on in my home.
  • Thank you johnny, i have been waiting for years for this episode. Thanks from Yemen.
  • Man, as a Yemeni I have been waiting too long for this, happy to see someone explaining what's going on in here, it's complicated to understand even for Yemenies ourselves
  • Im really glad the editing of this video was done in the old style. It's more respectful and doesnt distract from the actual topic. The gravity of these conflicts does not mix well with fast cuts and interlaced clips of you doing the actual research. Thank you!
  • Gorgeous presentation with beautiful storytelling. The map and other indicators (connecting lines, dots and legends) provide so much context to the whole conflict. I absolutely love watching your videos as I am very much interested in geo-political issues and I can say nobody explains such issues better than you. Your honest, objective and truthful journalistic approach helps to view the story from all sides without any confirmation bias. I really appreciate this. Please keep up the good and productive work. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 !
  • @user-sq4ci7ge6s
