Taiz fighters are witnessing strange phenononen amongst the houthis like withdrawals, infightings, and collapsing from the within.
-----------------
From Amin Al-Qahtani (From the Taiz frontline)
God is Great.. The collapse has begun from within
The Houthi militia has begun to disintegrate and collapse from within on the Taiz fronts..
We're no longer the only ones attacking them..
But they are fleeing from each other.*First: Mass withdrawals - nonstop flight:**On the Maqbanah front:*Just in the past week, two entire groups withdrew from their positions on the western Maqbanah front.
They left their weapons and abandoned their trenches, fleeing toward Al-Barah. The reason? They say: "We don't want to die for a losing battle in Taiz."
Their fighters tell their commanders: Taiz is a graveyard.. We don't want to be buried in it.
*On the Al-Aqrad and Al-Masarakh front:* The Al-Aqrad front has seen repeated withdrawals.
Their supervisors arrive in the morning, and by night they flee.
They no longer hold their ground. The mountains devour them, and terror pursues them. Every position they lose, they never return to.
*On the Al-Shaqb and Sabr front:* Here, the largest cases of flight were recorded.
More than one position was evacuated without fighting. They left it because they know staying means certain death at the hands of the Sabr snipers and the men of Al-Shaqb.
*Second: Internal rifts - devouring each other:*
This is the fatal blow.. The militia is no longer one hand in Taiz.- Sharp disputes between Saada supervisors and Dhamar supervisors on the Khadir front..
Each accuses the other of betrayal and flight.. And a fistfight broke out two days ago at one of the positions.- Groups from the sons of the areas they forcibly brought began to defect and return to their villages..
They say: "They tricked us.. They told us we'd go on a picnic.. And we found ourselves in the hell of Taiz."- Field commanders refuse to carry out attack orders.. They say: "We send people's sons to die..
While we sit in the back." And this is the cause of a major internal rift.
*Third: Why are they fleeing and defecting now? - 3 reasons that terrify them:**
1- Daily attrition killed them:* They don't die in a big battle.. They die every day.. Every hour.. Sniper fire.. Ambush.. IED.. Their morale died before their bodies did.
*2- Taiz is no longer what they expected:*They thought Taiz would welcome them.. But they found every house an enemy.. Every child an enemy.. Every mountain an enemy.. The feeling that the entire land hates you is a terrifying feeling that causes flight.
*3- They know the end is near:*They hear that Marib is being liberated.. That Hodeidah is on the move.. That Sana'a is rising up from within.. So they say: Why should we die here in the mountains of Taiz for a group that's finished? Better to flee and save ourselves.
