Yemen’s Battleground Shifts in Favor of Iran-Backed Houthis

[Dariush the Great]

RIYADH—Houthi fighters allied with Iran have gained important new ground in the yearslong war in Yemen, as Saudi Arabia is struggling to defend a strategic, oil-rich city and U.S. efforts to broker peace stagnate.

Without coordinating with United Nations peacekeepers in the area, Yemeni forces supported by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates abruptly withdrew last week from key positions near the western port city of Hodeidah. At the same time, Saudi Arabia vowed to send more forces to defend Marib, the center of an energy hub near the Saudi border where the Houthis have been methodically gaining new ground for months.

Saudis are done in Yemen. The Red Sea coast is also now largely in Ansarallah hands.

This is the 100.000 article of claiming victory... The fight has not even began.. There are around 1m forces in the south alone fighting the houthis the war is far from over.. Perhaps another 10-15 years to come.. Just gaining some strip areas around Hoedadiah lool.

fasten your seat belts we are in for a long ride.. This civil war will drag and it has not even started properly yet

Saudi losers are desperate to save face, they are killing more civilians in frustration and also sending peace feelers to Iran via Oman. Their military has even withdrawn from Aden and that will fall too. The Marib is almost all in Ansarallah hands and even the Sunni tribes have changed allegiances.

It is not the saudis that are the chellenge but the tribes themselves. Seriously I won't mind Saudi withdrawal all together this won't alter anything.... This war has not even entered it's peak anything claimed here now is premature and fantasy

Yes, fasten seat belts against impoverished Yemeni babies and women. Need more US weapons to bomb them to bits. Hurry, make some more American companies richer to kill fellow muslims.

Part of me thinks they wanna desperately this war to end? Hence the shout they are getting impatient... But why the rush.. This has not even started.. This will become dumping place for holy warriors to be which lifts pressure from many countries hence it wil remain open and meantained for the next 15-20 years why the rush

6 years after claiming that they can defeat Yemen in weeks and the war hasn't even started yet.

6 years after claiming that they can defeat Yemen in weeks and the war hasn't even started yet.

It is not even fully active just partial in areas like marib and south of it.. But it will become again in 2 years time allover the country

It is not even fully just partial in areas like marib and south of it

Nearly all population centers of Yemen are under the control of the Houthies.
Probably over 75% of the population of Yemen are currently living in areas controlled by the Houthies.

And you think the war hasn't even started yet. And you want it to continue for another 15 years!

Not all the population centers it is like 60-40% not 75% besides there are approx 1m militia in the south armed to the teeth.. Do the math yourself? This will continue for years
