Yemeni Army Ready to Invade Jizan, Najran Saudi Cities
2015-12-04
The Yemeni army spokesman General Sharaf Loqman told Al-Manar website that the preliminary operations have ended and that the strategic escalation stage has started.

"We are ready to escalate operations, and the leadership will settle all the details," the Yemeni officer said.

"The Yemeni army and popular committees have surrounded the two Saudi cities of Jizan and Najran and the political leadership will take the decision of invading them," he added.

Luqman noted that the Yemeni army and popular committees are advancing in the various provinces and confronting the Saudi-led terrorists, adding that all the attempts to reach local ceasefire agreements are rejected because the aim is to expel all the terrorists.

General Luqman pointed out that the Yemeni army and popular committees withdrew from the south to let the locals defend their cities.

"However, Qaeda and ISIL terrorists have controlled the area, especially in Aden and Hadramout," he concluded.

#1  As of this AM, as per BHARAT RAKSHAK + DEFENCE>pk?FORUMS Morocco has deployed 1500 troops to boost the seemingly floundering Saudi campaign in Yemen, while Turkey has repor deployed a Battalion = 1200 troops to Bashiqa/Ba'ashiqah, Mosul,Iraq for the Turkey-claimed purpose of training Iraqi soldiers.

Turkey is now in Mosul + Qatar.

* FUBAR/SNAFU = MOROCCO + TURKEY HAVE SET UP MIL PREENC WIDIN "US-STYLE/PAR", OWG CO-SUPERPOWER IRAN'S SUPERPOWER OR CO-SUPERPOWER "SPHERE OF INFLUENCE" IN THE ME.

To which Iran must effective respond lest it loses its "Sphere" + quite possibly it newfound "Co-Superpower" status.

THIS WILL NOT END WELL.

Iraqi PM-Govt - Turkey's action was widout the formal knowledge or consent of Iraq, hence constitutes a wily dastardly grossly unacceptable direct breach of Iraq's sovereignty by Turkey.

Only one missing is EGYPT.
