If America can not take afghanistan and root out taliban how can anyone expect saudis to root out houthis?
Fighting on contested territory that swings back and forwards is one thing but taking territory of your enemy which is heavily fortified with tunnels, trenches, high points, traps, sniping corridors, local support is completely different.
There is 0 chance saudi and its loosely aligned government force can take the capital. I wouldn't be surprised given a few months, the southern yemenis will go back to fighting each other again like they usually do.
