Yemen - Civil War

[Scorpion]

Well brother let's wait for a moment and think about it, there is no plan to retake capital. Houthi's are regaining what they lost in the south currently. In the East they aren't doing many offensives or simply not capable. I don't know, but point is it is better for us not to be optimistic. We can have high morale but should be realistic in this matter. Arab States need to mimic Iran's strategy which is supporting militias. The problem is Arabs fear they can't control Sunni militias. But reality is if we don't begin supporting Sunni militias then the Iranians will have advantage and sadly may achieve what they want in Yemen. Let them mock and laugh at us all they want. Let's ignore them and start initiative. If our state institutions don't begin seeing it as Sunni Arab struggle to defend all of us from Iran, it's supporters and select Western nations wanting to harm us then we will have a split like we do now that will continue. Which is the Sunni militias on their own, Arab states on their own. In end both Sunni militias and Arab governments are in lose-lose situation.

Where are they gaining? They were trying to open a new front and they failed. The resistance get supplied everyday from the collation but you can't pour a lot of weaponry into their hands either. There is no need to talk about military plans openly. What matter is what is happening in the ground. Houthis are like Iranians. Two side of the same coin. They only use media to boost up their moral. Iran has been caught pants down video tapping scenes from Syria and Iraq and then claim that they were taking from Yemen. In fact Houthi media is broadcasting from Iran. Not to ahead of ourselves here lets wait and see.

What's happening in Yemen recently? Seems like Houthi's are reversing some of coalitions gains. They are able to sustain months long offensive and still go on offensive. This obviously means they are very well armed. Iran probably spent just as much money on them that they did on Hezbollah. Of course when it comes to Sunni groups like Hamas back in pre-2011 when they supported them, the support was very minimal.

Bullshit. Don't listen to the media that support the rebels. The coalition is preparing to liberate the capital Sana'a, but they don't want to do it in 2 or 3 weeks because they want the rebels to be completely exhausted, so they can't do any surprises in future days. By extending the time of the war along with continuing the siege, the rebels will run out of ammo and then the resistance will be much less than before. Let the rebels to do their best and use their ATGMs, missiles, men and ammo. Then we'll see what they can do.




New batch of the Sudanese forces arrived to Aden few hours ago :

33 years in Afghanistan, 10 or so years in Iraq and no achievement whatsoever. Saudi led collation fucked the Houthis in a matter of less than 7 months in a worse-than hard and dry terrain.

Pro-coalition ground forces making gains in Taiz, Houthi's are shelling the city meanwhile. Nothing really else being said.

The capital will be difficult because the can only enter from East and even if they cut the capital in half with ground forces, there is no one yet to the south to assist them. It's very difficult urban area, I actually don't believe it's possible to recapture. Unfortunately the coalition needed to act earlier before Houthi insurgency gained momentum. The Arabs haven't been politically assertive for decades and now we are paying the price. The change came too late.
