Number of Saudi-led coalition troops in Yemen rises to 10,000: Al-Jazeera - The Hindu
Updated: September 8, 2015 16:21 IST
Houthi militiamen and their allies in Yemen's army fired a Soviet-era ballistic missile at an army base on Friday, killing 60 Gulf Arab soldiers.
A Saudi-led alliance has deployed 10,000 troops to Yemen, Qatari news channel Al-Jazeera said on Tuesday, in an apparent sign of determination to rout Iran-allied Houthi forces after they killed at least 60 Gulf Arab soldiers on Friday.

Yemen’s neighbours ramped up air strikes on the capital Sana’a on Tuesday and hope to launch a decisive assault soon on the city which the militia seized last year.

“The number of coalition soldiers who have already entered Yemen has risen to 10,000,” Al-Jazeera correspondent Abdul Mahsi al-Sheikh reported from southern Saudi Arabia.

Yemen’s government fled to Riyadh in late March as Houthi forces, who say they are fighting a revolution against them, closed in on their last redoubt in Aden, triggering the foreign intervention and fighting which has killed over 4,500 people.

Iranian influence

The Arab alliance states see their campaign as a fight against creeping Iranian influence in their backyard, but the Houthis deny being beholden to Tehran and say the exiled government in Riyadh and the coalition are American puppets.

Loyalist Yemeni forces and Gulf soldiers took back Aden and most of Yemen’s south in July, but battle lines have barely moved since as the allied forces face stiff resistance in the Houthis’ northern redoubts.

Houthi militiamen and their allies in Yemen's army fired a Soviet-era ballistic missile at an army base in the central province of Mareb on Friday, killing dozens of Emirati, Saudi and Bahraini troops.

Ground war imminent?

The attack was the deadliest yet for Gulf soldiers in the war, and may herald a turning point in the conflict as countries appear to be committing to a ground war they had so far avoided.

Saudi-owned newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat quoted coalition sources saying that some Egyptian and 6,000 Sudanese troops would soon join the fight inside Yemen. Their governments did not immediately comment.

But a source close to the Qatari military confirmed that the Gulf emirate was sending “mechanised infantry and armoured vehicles” and that Sudan had committed to send 6,000 troops.

“The operation in Sana’a ... will use extensive bombing, air power, to support the ground offensive,” the source added.

They were probably Iranian-backed Indians.

Verifying reports about killing of 20 Indians in Yemen: MEA
New Delhi, Sep 8, 2015, (PTI)
Ministry of External Affairs tonight said it has no information about the reports that 20 Indians have been killed in Saudi-led strikes in Yemen.

"We are ascertaining the facts about the reports," MEA spokesman Vikas Swarup said when asked about reports that 20 Indians had been killed in Saudi-led strikes in Yemen.

Some media reports, quoting residents and fishermen, earlier claimed that at least 20 Indian nationals were killed in air strikes by Saudi-led coalition forces on fuel smugglers at Yemen's Hodeidah port today.

They claimed two boats were hit in the attack on an area called al-Khokha near Hodeidah port.

India does not have Embassy in Yemen, which was shut down in April after evacuation of its nationals.
 
So, it seems that the Southern Yemenis are not interesting in fighting in the north. They got what they wanted, but to the Gulf, the South was only a means to get the North. So, the only armies that are going to fight the Yemenis in the north are Sudanese & Somalian troops?

Why can't you just admit the defeat by Saudis? It's not hard, you can simply use the learning strategy called "Repetition", all you need to do is to repeat this sentence ten times, and I assure you will be back to reality, now repeat after me "We were defeated and humiliated by Saudis".

Wait, are you Saudi? I thought you were Jordanians. Oh, I get it, in this world when Houthis are Iranians, then Jordanians are Saudis, and bottle factories can become bomb factories and children can become terrorists and anything can be argued, because words can mean anything.

13 of the 20 Indian nationals who were reported to have been killed in Saudi-led airstrikes on fuel smugglers at a Yemeni port on Tuesday are alive, MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup said on Wednesday.


Seven of them are missing, Swarup added.

"We have seen media reports about the death of Indian nationals in Yemen. Indian Embassy officials in Djbouti are in touch with local contacts and we have ascertained that there were two boats one of which was plying between Berbera (Somalia) and Mokha (Yemen). The boats came under aerial bombardment in the afternoon of 8 September. The boats were carrying a total of 20 Indian crew members of which 13 are alive and 7 are reported missing," Swarup said.

He further added that no other information is currently available regarding the identities of the Indian nationals.

It was earlier reported that planes from the Saudi-led alliance struck two boats at al-Khokha, a small port near Hodeidah in western Yemen used by Indians to smuggle badly needed fuel supplies into the country, killing 20 Indians.
The Houthi-run state news agency Saba also said that 15 citizens were killed in air strikes on Sanaa, and medical sources said at least 15 civilians were killed in similar attacks on Monday. It was not immediately possible to independently verify the figures.

The alliance, made up mainly of Gulf Arab countries, has increased air strikes on Sanaa and other parts of the country since Friday, when a Houthi missile attack killed at least 60 Saudi, Bahraini and United Arab Emirates soldiers at a military camp east of Sanaa.

They were part of a force preparing to assault the capital, which the Iranian-allied Houthis seized last September. Friday's attack was the deadliest yet for Gulf soldiers in the war and may herald a turning point as Saudi-allied countries appear to be committing to a ground war they had so far avoided.

Qatari-owned Al Jazeera TV reported that the number of forces deployed by the alliance had risen to 10,000. A Yemeni military official denied any foreign reinforcements had arrived on Tuesday and a source close to the exiled Yemeni government, now based in Riyadh, said he believed the number of foreign troops reported by al Jazeera might be exaggerated.

Al Jazeera on Monday said that 1,000 Qatari soldiers had crossed the al-Wadia border crossing from Saudi Arabia. "A second contingent of Qatari soldiers has entered the al-Wadia border crossing," an Al Jazeera correspondent in southern Saudi Arabia was quoted as saying.

Coalition Readies for massive Sanaa Offensive

Dubai: UAE fighter jets participated in strikes against several Al Houthi-controlled weapons depots in Sana’a before returning safely to their base Tuesday.
The strikes come amid a planned massive offensive in Yemen’s north by the Saudi-led coalition fighting Iran-backed Al Houthi militia.

At least 10,000 loyalist troops were preparing an air and ground offensive, according to a news agency run by Yemen’s exiled government. The alliance, made up mainly of Gulf Arab countries, has intensified air strikes on Sana’a and other parts of the country since Friday, when an Al Houthi missile attack killed at least 60 Saudi, Bahraini and Emirati soldiers at a military camp east of Sana’a.

Friday’s attack was the deadliest yet for Gulf soldiers in the war and may herald a turning point as Saudi-allied countries appear to be committing to a ground war they had so far avoided.

Meanwhile, Al Jazeera TV reported that the number of forces deployed by the alliance had risen to 10,000, including 1,000 Qatari soldiers who crossed the Al Wadia border from Saudi Arabia.

Yesterday, a Qatari official confirmed the deployment to AFP. Also, around 6,000 Egyptian and Sudanese troops were also expected to join the fight, according to the Saudi-owned newspaper Al Sharq Al Awsat. The Sudanese government did not comment on the report but it was corroborated by an Egyptian official who spoke to Reuters as well as the Qatari source.

After five months of air strikes by a Saudi-led coalition and ground combat between Iran-backed militia and coalition-supported fighters, Yemen “is bracing for a new and more deadly phase of violence in the north”, said April Longley Alley of the International Crisis Group.

You are wrong because Huthies violated more than 60 national agreements which they signed and vowed to stick to. They used the time of peace talks to capture Yemeni cities and they did that till they reached Aden, hijacked the president who ran and then tried to assassinate him. So, they wasted the best ever chance to have a good place in Yemen governance, but fortunately it's over. Now they get to live miserably for centuries.
