Connecting the Unconnected: What Drew Starlink to Yemen’s Digital Frontier

The American company “Starlink” announced the launch of Internet via satellite in Yemen, the first country in the Middle East attacked by the company owned by the American Elon Musk, a close friend of Donald Trump, who has strong connections and is close to global Zionist circles.

The American company operates in only 40 countries of the world and recently announced its entry into Yemen as the only country in the Middle East, several rich countries in the region are eager to acquire everything new in the world of technology, which raises the question: why Yemen, and especially at this time?

First, who is Starlink and how does it work?

According to the Advertiser, the “Starlink” system is thousands of satellites built by Musk’s company, SpaceX, to provide lunar Internet connectivity.

The Starlink system consists of thousands of satellites placed in low Earth orbit, linked together to form a mesh network capable of providing high-speed Internet access.

The service works by connecting users to satellite via an antenna dish connected to the user’s router and modem, which is connected to the Internet.

Reuters: SpaceX is directly linked to the CIA

On March 17, 2024, 5 informed sources told Reuters that SpaceX is building a network of hundreds of spy satellites within the framework of a secret agreement with the US intelligence agency CIA, which ensures close ties between the company owned by billionaire Musk. and organization.

The sources added that SpaceX’s StarShield unit is responsible for building the satellite network under a $1.8 billion contract signed in 2021 with the National Reconnaissance Office, an intelligence agency that operates intelligence satellites.

The plans reveal the extent of SpaceX’s involvement in American intelligence and military projects and illustrate the significant investment made by the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) in low-Earth orbit satellite systems, aimed at supporting ground forces.

The sources said that if the program is successful, it will greatly enhance the ability of the US government and the US military to rapidly monitor potential targets almost anywhere in the world.

The Reuters report revealed for the first time that the SpaceX deal aims to build a powerful new spy system with hundreds of satellites that can image Earth and operate as a group in low orbit, and that the intelligence agency cooperated with Musk’s company. National Reconnaissance Office.

The sources explained that the satellites can track targets on the ground and share that data with American intelligence and military officials.

Websites specializing in technology ensure that the Internet services provided by the company are under the direct supervision of America, without any restrictions, government supervision, or any restrictions on every movement and residence that a person does or says.

Observers believe that in the Russian-Ukrainian war, Starlink intervened in the war by transferring services to Ukraine and logically benefited from the war.

In the case of Yemen, since the security and military fronts are integrated and the enemy could not penetrate it, and considering that there are no pagers and wireless devices in countries like Lebanon, the Yemeni front is considered the most important. Enemies, especially the latest hypersonic missiles that penetrate all their defenses, have captured Jaffa.

The Yemen front has become the biggest concern of the Americans, which is why they have rushed to equip the Starlink system and launch services in Yemen because, according to observers, they are on the ground like blind men after the collapse of their spy network.

What, observers wonder, are the hidden messages behind the US embassy’s blessing of the “Starlink” attack on Yemen? They added, “Elon Musk is considered a close friend of Netanyahu. How do we explain his presence in Netanyahu’s meetings with members of the US Congress and his subsequent presence on the production lines of Elon’s companies?”

In the first official response, the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology announced that the provision of Internet services by foreign entities in any part of the Republic of Yemen poses a direct threat to Yemen’s national security and undermines its ability to protect privacy. Citizens and their information allow the American-Saudi-Emirati company Starlink to provide satellite Internet services in the occupied territories, emphasizing the rejection of the establishment of authorities in the occupied territories.

In conclusion, Yemen has been subjected to more than 9 years of military aggression and economic blockade led by America and Saudi Arabia, which has failed to achieve its goals by attacking Yemen and entering the war to support Gaza after the Zionist invasion of Yemen. Years ago, the American-British-Israeli alliance also failed to defeat Yemen by military force, which led them to search for soft power alternatives and it seems that an electronic war is on the horizon and Yemen needs to prepare well for it. , and it must avoid what happened in Lebanon and Ukraine.
