Military Operations Accelerate on 3 Axes in Yemen
[AAWSAT] Military operations in Saada, Taiz and al-Bayda governorates have accelerated in favor of the legitimacy, Yemeni army front man Lieutenant Abdo Majali said.Speaking to Asharq al-Awsat, Majali stressed that the military option was the most appropriate solution in face of the Houthis' rejection of peace and refusal to implement the three references. Majali indicated that the military is closing in on Iranian-backed Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... militias, especially after the liberation of al-Qaniya area in al-Bayda province, and the major progress in Saada, Houthis stronghold, along with Taiz, Hays and al-Jarahi districts on the west coast. The front man recounted the advancements saying there was significant progress in the front of al-Bayda. The army was able to take full control of al-Masudah and al-Arr mountains and progressed towards al-Wahhabiah areas. He indicated that the national army was progressively advancing at Karsh front towards al-Rahida city. "Houthi militias are retreating in light of the concentrated strikes of the coalition aircraft," he said, explaining the great coordination between the national army and the Arab coalition led by Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... since the beginning of operations until now. Majali believes the military solution is the safest way to confront these Iranian militias, which reject peace. "The military option is the safest as long as Houthi militias reject peace and the implementation of the three references: Gulf initiative, outcomes of national dialogue, and UN Resolution 2216," indicated the front man.
