Where would be the best place to mention the refugees?

US Involvement Announced
According to PressTV, the US has signed a pact with the Yemeni gov't to train and fund Yemeni soldiers in the operation. [1] So, we should add the United States on the left side of the chart to the right of the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.123.219.33 (talk) 20:02, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
If we do, we should include a note specifying that the US is only acting as a logistical and financial backer, not necessarily a belligerent backer with boots on the ground, IE a "Financial/Logistical Backing:USA" Hoboron (talk) 20:54, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
- but still it would list as a belligerent. That's what the section in the infobox is about. Add them to a notes section, rather, including Iran--Ч) 14:13, 12 November 2009 (UTC)]
- US military commander tells, what role US warships play in this conflict. Cite "General David Petraeus, who now heads the United States Central Command, ... emphasized that U.S. ships found in Yemeni waters are not only there for monitoring but for also for stopping the flow of arms to the Houthi rebels."

- How we be sure that this article http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/12/18/world/main5997532.shtml indicates that the US is attacking the Houthis, when it also seems that al-Qaeda is also opposed to the Houthis? 132.181.210.64 (talk) 00:53, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
- The Americans were aiding the Yemenis with ships as Yemen recruits al-Quaeda and Ba'athist mercenaries, but the U.S. and al-Quaeda were fighting each other at the same time. I think we'll need to change up the belligerent columns for this love-hate polygon. Maildiver (talk) 02:23, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- The infobox is very confusing to read. Currently I can not fathom al-Quaeda and the US fighting on the same side of any conflict. If it can not be explained in the article then it shouldn't be in the infobox. --71.110.67.204 (talk) 02:34, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
