[ALMASDARNEWS] A large military convoy from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was filmed heading towards the western coast of Yemen ![]() this month to aid their allied forces on the ground. According to Yemeni pro-government media, the Emirati military convoy was moving towards the front-lines of Hodeidah, where their allies from the Southern Resistance Army and Elite Republican Guard are currently fighting the 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... forces. In the footage filmed this month, the UAE troops not only head to the Hodeidah front, but they also partake in festivities against the Houthi forces. |
