Transferring specific units to Units involved[edit]
Shouldn't specific units be transferred to Units involved rather than strength as it currently is in the infobox, it makes more sense to put them in units involved section Waleed Ukranian (talk) 06:30, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I removed Russia from the infobox because it doesn't seem like the vessels they deployed to the Red Sea were sent because of the Houthis. Maritime Executive says they were sent to mark the 30th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Russia and Eritrea and will leave on 5 April. Chomik1129 (talk) 18:14, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Djibouti's support on the Houthi Blockade of the Red Sea[edit]
Djibouti has given diplomatic approval of the Houthis blockading the Red Sea. Seeing it in the view that it is for the Palestinian cause. The Djiboutian FM does not condemn the operations and said it was a brotherly duty. A translated speech of his is in the link provided[1]
Youssouf Moussa Dawaleh, the president of the chamber of commerce stated that "Whatever dents the Houthi attacks have left in Djibouti’s economy, the government is not about to join the coalition against them, and has warned America not to carry out retaliatory strikes from the country. “Djibouti doesn’t have any wars to wage against anybody,” an adviser to the president told me, adding: “The world also knows Djibouti’s position with regard to the situation in Gaza…Genocide, to tell it like it is.” Djibouti, whose population is overwhelmingly Muslim, is one of five countries that have asked the International Criminal Court to investigate whether Israel has committed war crimes. Billboards around Djibouti city declare that “we are all Palestinians”." [2]
I don't think that's enough to say that they support the attacks. Djibouti is where the MV Rubymar's crew was evacuated to and where the ship was supposed to be towed to. [3] It's also where the MV True Confidence's crew members were evacuated to and hospitalized. [4]
In the speech you provided, the FM also asked the Houthis to cease their attacks since they threaten the country's economy. It looks like he supports them for "standing with Palestine" and doesn't actually support the attacks. Chomik1129 (talk) 11:04, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Should this be included in the reaction section of the article? Replayerr (talk) 12:01, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, under an International subsection along with reactions from other countries. Chomik1129 (talk) 13:19, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think Djibouti can be counted as a beligrent, just as North Korea can't be M Waleed (talk) 12:39, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
