Why Houthi gains in Yemen could further raise gas prices: NPR

Tuugo12 September 2026 at 10:19

A fragile years-long truce in Yemen collapsed further this week when Iran-backed Houthi fighters expelled Yemeni forces backed by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The confrontation represents a significant escalation in the conflict that has already devastated the country.

The Houthi group, which controls the capital Sanaa and much of northern Yemen, has been carrying out regular attacks on ships in the Red Sea since November. These actions have forced several shipping carriers to divert their routes, going around Africa to avoid the region.

Attacks in the Red Sea and tensions in Yemen have directly impacted global energy prices. The region is strategic for international oil and liquefied natural gas trade, and any disruption to maritime security raises transportation costs.

The situation is occurring in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and continues to generate international concerns about the stability of gas and oil prices in the global market.

Why this matters

This development directly affects readers in the Persian Gulf region, where Yemen is located, as well as global energy consumers. Houthi territorial gains threaten regional stability and could contribute to rising natural gas prices, following a trend already marked by previous geopolitical tensions.

Chapel of the Remedies

The Chapel of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, at the site of Moreno in Santa Cruz, Madeira, celebrates its long community tradition since its founding in 1690 by canon Manuel Ferreira Teixeira Caiado. The article describes the annual feast on 8 September, the celebration of the 300th anniversary in 1990 with the presence of the bishop of Funchal, and recalls the theft of the 19th-century sacred image in 2018, replaced by a replica in 2020. The text highlights the chapel's role in preserving the community's identity and memory over more than three centuries.

Understand: Is a closed buzios reading negative or positive?

The article explains that in the Afro-Brazilian tradition's buzios reading, when the reading is "closed," it doesn't always mean something negative. It presents the concepts of Àláàfíà (a positive condition and balance), Insobù (a negative situation or impediment), and Òpìrà (another type of closure with a different reading), clarifying that even with a closed reading, there can be Iré—that is, a positive condition—depending on the configuration presented.
