Egypt takes a new position on Yemen war, Houthis take military bases without a fight

Iran started offi­cially to accuse Saudi Ara­bia with recruit­ing thou­sands of Mili­tia men and a bud­get of $5 Mil­lion to assist the Yemeni army in the war against the Houthis.

These offi­cial accu­sa­tions came after Saudi news­pa­per Al-Watan pub­lished an edi­to­r­ial say­ing that Saudi Ara­bia can also starts “thou­sands of fires inside Iran”.

Panic in the Yemeni gov­ern­ment after Egypt­ian semi-official Al-Ahram news­pa­per pub­lished an Op-Ed arti­cle called “Save Yemen” included a new Egypt­ian posi­tion which is totally dif­fer­ent from the Egypt­ian pre­vi­ous posi­tion on the Yemen-war.

It seems that the Egyp­tians gave up rely­ing on the Yemeni army to ends the Houthis rebel in the North, and that is the rea­son which the Op-Ed addresses, call­ing for Inter­na­tional inter­ven­tion to end this war in Sa’ada between the Houthis and the Yemeni government.

As for the war news, Houthis are doing much bet­ter than the Yemeni, they man­aged to invade a mil­i­tary base and city yes­ter­day with­out a fight. AlMas­dar reported that the Yemeni army left its posi­tions when the army saw the Houthis are com­ing. That is one day after a high ranked Yemeni mil­i­tary Gen­eral was killed in the fight.
