A Houthi-owned helicopter hijacked the Galaxy Leader cargo ship on November 19 in the Red Sea, as rebel gunmen laid siege to the vessel and took the ship’s crew of 17 Filipinos, two Bulgarians, three Ukrainians, two Mexicans and a Romanian hostage.

It’s now been more than 116 days since the hijacking, and according to a senior Filipino government official, there is no indication that the Houthis are open to releasing them until the hostilities end.

Two Filipinos and a  Vietnamese crew member were killed in a Houthi strike on the M/V True Confidence on March 6. The vessel was hit by a Houthi anti-ship missile and fire quickly spread on board. The remaining crew was rescued by the Indian Navy, which took them to Djibouti for treatment.

      I don’t think Egypt is the one who stole the land, but they do bear the blame for not helping those in need and keeping Gazans imprisoned.

          Egypt is an American puppet state so of course they are.

          Egypt gets 1 Billion in American weapons every year to suppress their population.

          Recently they got an 8 Billion dollar “IMF Loan”(bribe)
