#1 "Armed southern activists"

Pirates tend to park their hijacked ships in the southern port. I have no doubt that Al-Q have ties with these groups.

A Huthi rebellion in the north with Al-Q assistance and a foreign Sunni rebellion in the south in challenge to the pro-western Sunni government in Yemen.

The walls are closing in.
