With the victory in Shabwa, the Saudi-led coalition now controls a substantial part of southern Yemen&#8217;s coastline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;\">The loss of this crucial province <strong>defeated Houthi plans to strengthen control over all of northern Yemen<\/strong>. Following the incident, the Houthis issued a statement warning that if the UAE continued to escalate its attacks, they would target other important sites in their country. The Houthis&#8217; attack on the Emirati capital was a <strong>harsh warning to the UAE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"716\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/After-Houthis-drone-attacks-in-UAE-Saudi-launches-airstrikes-in-Yemen-716-\u00d7-400px-1.jpg\" alt=\"Current military situation in Yemen\" class=\"wp-image-7338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/After-Houthis-drone-attacks-in-UAE-Saudi-launches-airstrikes-in-Yemen-716-\u00d7-400px-1.jpg 716w, https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/After-Houthis-drone-attacks-in-UAE-Saudi-launches-airstrikes-in-Yemen-716-\u00d7-400px-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/After-Houthis-drone-attacks-in-UAE-Saudi-launches-airstrikes-in-Yemen-716-\u00d7-400px-1-585x327.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><figcaption>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Yemen_Warmap_with_Frontlines.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a> &#8211; Current military situation in Yemen<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who are the Houthis?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;\">The Houthis are primarily <strong>Zaydi Shiites<\/strong> who arose from Saada in northern Yemen in the 1990s. Shiite Muslims are a minority in the Islamic world, and Zaydis are a minority among Shiites. While they originated as a Shiite Muslim minority, they have developed from a religious group into a <strong>military and armed political movement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;\">They have been <strong>fighting Yemen&#8217;s internationally recognized Sunni-majority government<\/strong> since their founder Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi was killed by the Yemeni army in 2004, initiating the Houthi rebellion. The movement, now led by Hussein&#8217;s brother Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, gained support from Shia Yemenis. They were <strong>fed up with the corruption and cruelty<\/strong> of the long-time authoritarian leader and Saudi ally Ali Abdullah Saleh, especially after 9\/11 and the US invasion of Iraq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;\">Saleh resigned in 2012 due to widespread protests and several assassination attempts. The Houthis gradually gained control, and as their influence grew, they withdrew from discussions to form a new, stable Yemeni government after Saleh&#8217;s departure. Between 2014 and 2015, they overthrew the new President Abd Rabbah Mansour Hadi, seized power, and <strong>took control of most of northern Yemen<\/strong>, including the capital Sana&#8217;a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Saudi Arabia and UAE role<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;\">After the Houthis ousted Hadi in 2015, the exiled Yemeni government requested its allies <strong>Saudi and UAE to launch a military operation <\/strong>to force the Houthis out. The Saudi-led coalition has been fighting the Houthis since then. <strong>UAE was a critical participant <\/strong>in the coalition led by Saudi Arabia. Although the UAE withdrew most of its troops from the war, it is still heavily involved and supports Yemen&#8217;s local militia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2022\/jan\/18\/saudis-hit-back-with-deadly-airstrikes-in-yemen-after-houthis-uae-drone-attack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The attack on the UAE comes after the Houthis suffered a strategic defeat Read more&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7340,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","portfolio-category":[428,430,426],"class_list":["post-7326","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio-category-428","portfolio-category-january-2022","portfolio-category-newsfeed"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
