1) Today I had the honor to testify before @HouseForeign on the Houthi threat to U.S. interests & #RedSea security. The #Houthis are no longer just a #Yemen problem. They have both the intent and capability to threaten U.S. interests. foreignaffairs.house.gov/com…

Yes, by all means, let us actively erode faith in the only front line facing the Houthis because governance under wartime pressure is not neat enough. Cohesion and internal fracture are the real threats to the region, not the Houthis, Hezbollah, or the IRGC.
Yemen government? Let’s be honest here: the Yemeni government may be internationally-recognized but it can hardly be called a government even in the most charitable use of the term. The state is a mess. Services are a mess. And that “government” can’t field an army. Its entire force structure rests on a collection of various militias with different allegiances depending on the commander and region.

Seventy dead young men in Shabwa are the real body count of an arsenal that the Iran-backed Houthis sold to the world as anti-imperialism and Gaza solidarity. RIP.
رحم الله شهداءنا الأبطال الذين ارتقوا جراء الاستهداف الإرهابي لمعسكر العلم التدريبي في شبوة، ونسأل من الله الشفاء العاجل للجرحى والمصابين. إن هذا الاستهداف الإرهابي، الذي خلّف جريمة مؤلمة، يكشف حجم الإفلاس العسكري الذي تعانيه مليشيات الحوثي في الجبهات، ولا يقف الأمر عند هذا الحد، بل يكشف أيضا ما وصلت إليه من إفلاس أخلاقي، وعجز عن تحقيق أهدافها، فلم تجد سوى اللجوء إلى مزيد من الجرائم والانتهاكات، في محاولات يائسة للنيل من إرادة أبناء الجنوب وثباتهم. لن ينسى أبناء الجنوب هذه الجرائم، ولن تسقط من ذاكرتهم دماء الشهداء وتضحيات الأبطال، وستظل إرادة أبناء شبوة والجنوب عامة عصية على الانكسار، أقوى من الإرهاب، وأصلب من كل محاولات الترهيب والإخضاع. المجد للشهداء، والشفاء للجرحى، والخزي للإرهاب والإرهابيين.

A picture that speaks louder than any words... An eternal disgrace haunting the terrorist #Houthi militia and a bleeding testament to their crimes, paired with an indomitable pride that rises above the wounds of war. A mother carries her daughter on her shoulder, leaning on her unyielding patience in the face of tyranny. We will never forget... and #Taiz will never bow.

Abdul Reza Shahlai is not responsible for the Houthis’ missile system. Rather, another Houthi leader is responsible for it, while Shahlai oversees other portfolios.

Where is the outcry? These war crimes, these acts of wanton cruelty against an already traumatized civilian population. This is not collateral damage in conflict, this is intentional torture of ordinary people like this desperate man. What do the ProPals have to say about this?

What are those advocating for a “political agreement” with #Houthis asking Yemenis to accept? A radical ideology that brings endless wars, sieges, child indoctrination, killings & torture for demanding basic rights? Must Yemenis live in servitude so others can call it "peace"?

ماورد في إفتتاحية #عكاظ بإن القضية اليمنية يتحمل حلها اليمنيين صحيحة في حالة ثبات بقية العوامل ( عوامل التدخل الإقليمي والدولي ) فالمشكلة اليمنية لم تعد محلية وخاصة بتدخل إيران ومحورها من جانب والتحالف من جانب آخر والعالم تجسد فيه مبدأ القوي يأكل الضعيف والذكي يفهم اللعبة.
في اول مصارحة سعودية من نوعها للشرعية اليمنية اولاً ولليمنيين جميعاً، تأتي افتتاحية #عكاظ لتوجه للجميع رسالة غاية بالاهمية، ان جهد العالم لن ينجح مالم يوحد اليمنيين جهودهم نحو استعادة الدولة. خاتمة الافتتاحية جائت بالف مقال: "عمود الضيعة راعيها،وباقي الخلق فزاعة" #احمد_هاشم_السيد

When the Houthi memo said "traditional tribal waqfa," but the handsome African recruit in the middle decided to dress for an action movie instead.

1/6 Grateful for AGSI's @GulfStatesInst team for publishing my latest on Houthi military strategy. Why have the Houthis chosen to escalate now, and what do they hope to accomplish by bringing the confrontation directly to Saudi soil:

1/ #Yemen: Today, Khawlan al-Tiyal, one of the most prominent tribes in Sanaa governorate, declared a tribal mobilisation (نكف قبلي), with tribesmen gathering with light and heavy weapons after the #Houthis killed Sheikh Abdulqawi Mahdi Ghunaim.

8/ This reflects a broader Houthi policy of dismantling tribal structures they see as obstacles to their pursuit of total domination over society, a policy I examined in my 2023 book chapter, “Houthi Governance: An Examination of Engagement with Tribes. researchgate.net/publication…

9/The #Houthis seek to expand their reach, yet continue to face tribal resistance in areas they already hold, at times escalating into armed rebellion. Khawlan’s mobilisation highlights the limits of their control & the challenges they face as they strive to consolidate power.
