Yemen Civil War News and Discussion.. an evolving situation

[PakAl]

the saudis didnt pay even last time
they only threatened Pakistanis that they will be kicked out of Saudi Arabia just like UAE has done.
sadly only the military and political leadership will be paid and given a place after retirement. the cannon fodder sent there wont get much other than prayers and best wishes.

Pakistan is joining Saudi camp due to the reasons you mentioned plus pro Saudi militias/ideology in Pakistan will take Pakistan side against the Taliban in Afghanistan. After Houthis Pakistan will want Saudis to help topple Taliban government or pacify them. Already ISIS is spreading.

The 2026 US-Iran war greatly boosted China’s energy exports. China’s export revenue of new energy products jumped 50%, while its refined oil exports grew by 24.7%.

China ought to thank Iran for blockading the Strait of Hormuz.

Incredibly Yemen has so far escaped being carpet bombed despite 3 posts demanding the alliance to do so.

 

[Agnostic Muslim]

Certainly have to agree with this on current evidence!

Personally, I am more hopeful for an autocratic regime than a representative democratic one though, for a variety of reasons that do not need elaboration on for now.

@Blain2
For the sake of discussion, lets assume that autocratic governments in some developing countries, like Pakistan, make sense because, for a host of reasons, achieving a democratic consensus on critical structural reforms is next to impossible.

My issue with the Fauj is that it has had more than enough opportunities, through direct and hybrid martial laws, to do exactly that and it has failed. It failed because these periods of martial law were personality rather than institution driven, and the ‘personalities’ have continued to believe they can have it both ways - overthrow governments and then install puppet ‘elected governments’ so they can appear to be a ‘democracy’.

This whole approach is the problem- if the Fauj didn’t trust the politicians, then the Fauj should have done what the Iranians did and built up a system with a clear and formal role for the Fauj as an institution and not have it revolve around the individual of the Army Chief.

Hence my lament - Pakistan continues to suffer under incompetent dictatorships and hybrid regimes cobbled together by the Fauj, with no long term plan.

Why demonize fascist regimes of Mussolini and Hitler ? Both were popularly elected and both delivered more than they promised ?

The military spokesperson for the armed forces announces the execution of 2309 targeting operations, the neutralization of approximately 1250 militia elements, and the destruction and disabling of more than 460 military vehicles

This is what al Arabiya posted...

Video clips documenting the appearance of "Akram Amer," the leader in the Houthi interior, during his work with them, and others after his capture by the Yemeni National Army in the western countryside of Taiz.. The Houthis had previously granted him the rank of brigadier general, then major general.

If we take the facts and figures that you are giving at face value then there shouldn't be any houthis left to fight.

Egypt, the largest army in the Middle East, announces that it will place its military power at the request of sisterly Saudi Arabia

 

[battalion25]

Seems like they threw the sink in on Taiz and everything and their ranks are faltering. Due to commmand chain issues some even withdraw from taiz they love the sweetness of life. life is a dear commodity you can´t fake it..

Images showing the militia leader Muhammad Said Mahyub, whom the Houthis granted the rank of major and the position of Preventive Security Director in one of the provinces under their control for years.. before he fell into the custody of the Yemeni government forces in the western countryside of Taiz today

Apparently the houthis have been defeated 50x already. Even more times than trump has defeated the iranians.

Nationality is not the end all. Reliability/credibility is what matters. The maps from that source are largely accurate, I try to fact check before sharing updates.

The third person is Mohammed Saeed Mahyoub Al-Junaid, a first-tier leader in Taiz, who previously served as the director of drug enforcement and currently holds the position of commander of preventive security in Taiz.
