Houthi attacks in Bab El Mandeb: 'Whoever controls the capital, controls the country', says José Filipe Pinto

Now11 September 2026 at 15:22

José Filipe Pinto commented on the Houthi attacks in the Bab el-Mandeb region, a strategic passage in the Red Sea. During his analysis, Pinto used the expression "whoever controls the capital, controls the country" to describe the geopolitical importance of this zone.

In the same context, José Filipe Pinto also analyzed the Republican convention held in Dallas. The political analyst classified the event as a staged performance, describing it as a "one man show" centered on the figure of Donald Trump.

The Republican convention in Dallas was thus characterized as a spectacle centered on former president Donald Trump, according to José Filipe Pinto's interpretation. The Portuguese political analyst contrasted the strategic importance of Bab el-Mandeb with the American political event.
