The Yemeni sense of humor deserves the highest praise

A Yemeni journalist mocks the US’ decision to (re) designate AnsarAllah as terrorists

Ladies and gentlemen! Get ready for a comedy show.

The most fun in the new year, regarding visa refusal!

In an amazing display of strategic intelligence: the US Secretary of State announced hours ago about re-designating the Houthis on the US terrorist list will magically prevent them from obtaining an entry visa to America. What an ingenious plan to thwart the Houthis!

Let’s dive into this effective comedic plan, which promises to keep those pesky Houthis away.

Imagine this scene:

Houthi revolutionaries, wearing their traditional folk costume (dagger, Kalashnikov, and a small pistol), eagerly planning to spend their vacation in the United States. They dream of visiting the Statue of Liberty, and to gaze at the Grand Canyon, and of course to enjoy hot dogs at a baseball game!

Unfortunately, their dreams were shattered when they learned that a visa rejection would mean missing out on these special experiences!

The poor Houthis will have to cancel their reservations and make do with tourist brochures instead. They will have to cancel their plans for an exciting journey into the land of their arch-enemy.

One can only imagine the sheer horror which struck the hearts of the Houthis upon hearing this news.

“Oh no, we’re on the terror list, but wait, does that mean we won’t be able to visit Disneyland anymore?! Did they put us on the terror list or the vacation list?!” one of them asks.

Let’s not forget the comedic potential of this fantastic visa rejection show.

I wonder what drug did Blinken take that made him imagine Brigadier General Yahya Saree, wearing his finest combat clothing as he stands at the American Consulate, tears streaming down his face as he pleaded, saying:

“Please! just let me take a quick sightseeing tour of America and take a selfie with the Statue of Liberty!”?

There is no doubt that it is a luxury Afghan variety.

What a loss it is for the Houthis! With the entry into America now out of the window, they will resort to the wonders of online shopping. While browsing websites they’ll add American flags, T-shirts that say “I Heart NY” and miniature replicas of the White House to their e-cart.

They couldn’t help but feel depressed, they will never be able to wear those ridiculous Statue of Liberty crowns or proudly display the Washington Monument snow globe.

What a loss it is for the Houthis! They, like any self-respecting tourists, long to meet celebrities.

They imagine bumping into Tom Hanks in a café, or sharing a laugh with Beyoncé Giselle at a red carpet event. But unfortunately, their dreams of mingling with the stars were shattered. They were denied entry, so they can only imagine accidentally spilling coffee on Brad Pitt, or meeting Oprah at a charity event.

But wait a minute. Let us not underestimate the true power of this decision..by preventing the Houthis from entering US territory, Blinken is cutting off their access to the world’s finest cheeseburgers, reality TV shows, and Black Friday sales.

This deprivation will certainly force them to reconsider their entire existence and to choose a life of peace, love, and American consumerism.

The US administration can feel comfortable now knowing that the Houthis would remain imprisoned forever within the borders of Yemen, and their dreams of experiencing the American dream were shattered.

It’s a comedic masterpiece, a stroke of ironic genius that will certainly go down in history as the pinnacle of diplomatic strategy. Bravo, US Secretary of State Bravo.

But the sure truth, this is a bold and unparalleled step.

The United States showed the world of its confusion in front of AnsarAllah Houthis, and also showed that the key to world peace does not lie in understanding or compromise but rather in refusal to grant visas.
