A continuous collapse of the Iran-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 Americaâ„¢, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews...
militia is obvious from the outcome of battles, with the advance of the national armies supported by the coalition forces that uphold legitimacy.
One of the most recent important trends is the growing dissent within Houthi ranks over the decision to assassinate former President former President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh
... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it...and the liquidation of important people in the General People's Congress after the death of Saleh.
The selection of many leaders and members in the congress of politicians and snuffies that seek to delegitimize Houthi militia has led to the collapse of Houthis on almost all fronts. This points to the direction of the war and its final outcome against the Houthis.
Petty parochialism
The major problem facing Yemen is that many leaders and movements in the country want to settle their scores and secure their petty interests before the war lays down its burden. Each party has set its agenda in accordance with its current needs and priorities on the basis of their own parochial interests, not according to the interests of Yemen. Only Yemenis are capable of resolving their issues.
To achieve very narrow objectives, Houthis took control of Yemen. Their petty calculations could not resolve the issues, but it seems cleansing Yemen of this militia might take time. Does this mean that the Yemen issue is the result of an internal problem?
Of course not! Yemeni crisis has led to several wars between various militia and the Yemeni state, but over the years it has evolved regionally with Iran making long term investment in the Houthi militia. This happened in the wake of the B.O. regime’s retreat and withdrawal from action, causing the eventual coup in Yemen that supported the Iranian agenda with Qatar
