SORRY AMAZON PACKAGE DELAYED BY HOUTHIS BLOCKADE BUT GENOCIDE IS HAPPENING
January 23, 2024“Apologies for the delayed Amazon packages, but let’s not allow the convenience of consumerism overshadow a much graver concern – the ongoing genocide in Yemen.”
In a gripping exchange with Yalda Hakim, Dr. Francois; English journalist and filmmaker, confronts the uncomfortable reality of the conflict, challenging the delayed global response. With a fierce call for a ceasefire, Dr. Francois underscores the hypocrisy of prioritizing economic interests over human lives.
The conversation peels back the layers of Houthi blockades, Western involvement, and the terror inflicted upon the Yemeni people. Dr. Francois, unyielding in her stance, urges us to confront the consequences of our actions, emphasizing that allowing a population to be decimated cannot go unanswered. As the global economy hangs in the balance, she boldly states that the Houthi’s hold on markets is a consequence worth accepting if it leads to a crucial ceasefire.
In a world fixated on trade discussions, @myzfrancois implores us to shift our focus to the 25,000 lives lost, the 60,000 injured, and the countless others grappling with dire conditions. This conversation serves as a stark reminder that there are issues deserving of our urgent attention and collective outcry.
People are DYING. This is where our focus should be.

English Script:
Yalda Hakim: Dr. Francois. I mean, there are many who are saying that, frankly, the Biden administration should have acted sooner and faster. That hundreds of billions of dollars has been put at risk because the Houthis have held this area in the Red Sea at ransom.
Dr. Francois: Sorry so ust let me get this straight, Yalda. So we are bombing the poorest, one of the poorest countries in the world that has been under a humanitarian blockade. There has been famine. These people have been decimated and we are bombing them because a couple of guys in dinghies in support for the Palestinians who are having a genocide committed against them? They’re objecting to that and we’re bombing them? Come on now. I mean, this is just an insane world for us to even think. I’m so sorry your Amazon packages are delayed. I really am like I wish mine came on time. But you know, genocide guys, genocide. There are two mothers a day dying in Gaza right now. It’s 109 days into a conflict in which a humanitarian crisis has been declared to the world day in day out.
Yalda Hakim: By the way, Dr. Francois, there are many who are Yemen watchers who are, who monitor and follow the Houthis, who say this is doing wonders for their branding, actually, that it isn’t just the Palestinian cause that they’re focused on.
Dr. Francois: So, call a ceasefire now and end the positive branding. If you want to stop the Houthis doing what they’re doing, then call a ceasefire right now.
Yalda Hakim: Do you genuinely believe that the Houthis would stop doing what they’re doing?
Dr. Francois: They have literally said that that’s why they’re doing what they’re doing. They have not previously blocked those routes for any other reason except this one. So, yes, I do. And I also think the West needs to start to understand that you can’t just go around playing cowboys in the world. There are consequences to your actions. You cannot just go around bombing people’s countries, ignoring international law, and expect no repercussions. For every cause there is a consequence. And just because you don’t like a couple of guys trying to resist. I mean, the fact that this is…
Yalda Hakim: These are now prescribed terrorists, the Houthis.
Dr. Francois: Sure. According to Western governments, they are a terrorist government.
Yalda Hakim: Also, according to the Yemeni people.
Dr. Francois: Which is a Saudi backed government, which is essentially our…
Yalda Hakim: But but the Yemenis who live under Houthi rule talk about the fact that this group continues to terrorize them as well.
Dr. Francois: I’m no fan of the Houthis apart from when they’re blockading in favor of a cease fire, which should have been called a long time ago. 25000 people are dead in Gaza right now. There are over 60,000 people injured with no access to food, water, aid. How dare we have a conversation about trade when there are children right now being treated without anesthetic?
There are things that require us to make a fuss about and this would be one of them.
Yalda Hakim: They do have the global economy, global markets hostage.
Dr. Francois: Good for them. Good for them. Ceasefire now, cease fire now.
Yalda Hakim: We’re going to have to leave it there, but Dr. Myriam…
Dr. Francois: You cannot allow these people to be decimated and expect there to be no consequences.
Yalda Hakim: I think that is you know, a separate conversation. But we do have about 20 seconds left. Dr. Myriam Francois, Bill Browder, thank you both for joining us here.
Dr. Francois: Thank you, Yalda.
