Makkah Defence Alliance: Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, news & updates

[hyperman]

The problem with Yemen are the Yemenis. Everyone has their own agenda there and is ready to backstab at a drop of a hat.

There is no cohesive fighting force or strategy to counter the houthis. Imagine there has been zero effort to try to cut their supply lines.

Each faction has different priorities. Some of them have even been attacked by other factions. Al Islah which is the Muslim Brotherhood aligned party in Yemen, which is probably the strongest fighting force aligned with Saudi has been targeted by the UAE with Assassinations via their Israeli mercenaries. Then there are the Madkhalis the UAE and Saudi have been supporting, they also get into conflict with traditionalist Sunni Shafis of Yemen. There are the Southern Seperatists who are aligned with the UAE.

The whole thing is a quagmire, its not as complex as Syria was with factions but in many ways, the war is much harder b/c of the Mountainous terrain.

lol, if you think the Houthis are losing or either the STC/token Yemeni govt is winning, then you haven't been paying attention.

The Houthis are absolutely LOSING this conflict my dear brother. (CURRENTLY AS IT STANDS)

Go back to few years before the ceasefire see the shaep the houthis were in and the shape the houthis are in just 4 months post the ceasefire it is day and night.

They have lost all of Jawf region, they have never lost that much of territory since the war including being kicked out of Bab al Manbad in short time. They lost huge territories in Bayda and Mar´ib as well. have lost more manpower then the last 12 years combined in just 4 months.

The only thing separating the Yemeni armed forces from Sana´a is the nihm mountain ranges they are few kilometers from Sanaa. The Houthis are on the back foot and there is no way the PLC nor the Giants will accept ceasefire PERIOD.....

Ceasefire is completely a nonstarter and the yemenites lament the bullshxt stockholm ceasefire forced on them when they were liberating hoeidadah few years back and they even dislike more the Ceasefire that Bidan and couple of human rights hippies forced on them 4 years ago freezing the battlefield for 4 years but right now as it stands where the houthis are being beaten back and near collapse? No sane PLC, giants or even the Saudis themselves will accept ceasefire it is completely out of the question.

This is from the day the Offensive started September 7, 2026



This is the November 12, 2026



Does that look like losing to you?

The entire area around Mocha fell, the Bab Al Mandab, Taiz is surrounded.

Where are these miraculous gains around Marib?

Meanwhile flights into Riyadh are cancelled, and Oil infrastructure is getting hit. My own flight to Riyadh was recently cancelled as the Airline refused to fly to Riyadh and returned my money.

Long term this is going to be a significant loss at this pace, as its not tenable for Saudi to be under this sort of issue, it creates horrible conditions for investments and the economy, its not sustainable.

Houthis can do this for months and years, does Saudi want to deal with such BS for that long? I doubt it.

I think we will know by Jan 3 how things are going.
