The Yemeni Houthis are about 350,000 strong!
I bet you did not know that!
Why this fact so rarely mentioned in Western news media is strange to say the least!
Who allowed this terrorist group to become so strong?
How much money and support is Iran giving the to Houthis?
"The group's manpower can be broken down into three main categories:
Core Militants and Veteran Troops: The group maintains a core faction of 20,000 to 40,000 highly trained, war-hardened militants. This core is heavily augmented by formal army units and commanders who remained in northern Yemen following the country's civil fragmentation, giving the Houthis access to professional military expertise.
Active Standing Army: According to official administrative records in Sana'a and independent intelligence reports from the Middle East Institute, the Houthis command an active-duty and affiliated force of over 200,000 soldiers divided across seven military regions.
Massive Recent Mobilization: The Houthis capitalized heavily on public sentiments regarding the Gaza conflict and reactions to Western airstrikes in the Red Sea. This allowed them to conduct a massive recruitment drive, ballooning their total roster to 350,000 personnel.

Saudi Aramco backs India's Mitti Labs to make Asia's rice farming more water-resilient
Good news, but older news!
Let's not forget Methane is a trace gas! Associations between methane in the atmosphere and climate change/global warming are tenuous!
"As rising temperatures and shifting rainfall patterns put Asia’s water-intensive rice farming under pressure, Mitti Labs, a New York- and Bengaluru-headquartered climate-tech startup, has raised $9.5 million in an investment led by Aramco Ventures, Saudi Aramco’s venture arm, to expand across Asia with a platform that combines satellite imagery, AI, and field operations to help farmers cut water use and methane emissions. ...
Since launching its first programs in 2023, Mitti Labs has sought to tackle the heavy water use and methane emissions associated with rice farming through its platform that fuses satellite radar imagery with years of field data collected by its teams. The startup says the technology creates digital twins of individual rice fields, allowing it to monitor crop conditions, water use, and methane emissions across thousands of smallholder farms, where the average holding is about one hectare.
Mitti Labs’ GeoAI platform uses synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery from commercial and public satellites, with resolutions ranging from 50 centimeters to 10 meters, alongside years of field measurements collected by its teams. The startup’s edge lies less in the satellite imagery itself than in the proprietary datasets it has built to train its AI models, allowing it to monitor crop growth, soil moisture, and flooding across smallholder farms remotely, co-founder Xavier Laguarta said in an interview. ..."
"Rice feeds half the world every day, but growing it is putting an outsized strain on the planet's water supply. As the most water-intensive crop on Earth, rice consumes more than 30% of all irrigation water. Traditional paddies, kept continuously flooded to suppress weeds, also generate huge volumes of methane, a greenhouse gas now responsible for roughly a quarter of the warming the planet [???] has experienced to date. ...
We are proud to announce that we have raised a $9.5 million Series A to accelerate an answer to that problem. The round was led by Aramco Ventures, with participation from Lightspeed India, Godrej Industries Group, Cisco Foundation, Francis Family Fund, and Volta Circle. ..."
Mitti Labs raises $9.5M to build water resilience in Asia's rice fields (original news release)
