Moroccan and Jordanian forces participate in the war against Houthis

Span­ish news­pa­per El Impar­cial revealed that Moroc­can special-forces trained in guer­rilla war­fare joined the Saudi forces in the war against Houthis in addi­tion to two thou­sand Jordan’s spe­cial forces.

Sources con­firmed that Moroc­can King Mohammed VI approved a request from Saudi Arabia’s King Abdul­lah bin Abdu­laziz to send Morocco pro­fes­sional troops to carry out oper­a­tions behind the Houthis lines.

The Span­ish news­pa­per says that Morocco mil­i­tary assis­tance to Riyadh is timed with the exist­ing ten­sion in rela­tions between Tehran and Rabat — Morocco, after Morocco cut ties with Iran accus­ing Tehran with launch­ing a “Shi­iaism” cam­paign in Moroc­can cities.

As for the fights on the Yemen — Saudi bor­der, Saudi mil­i­tary forces are in high alert today because the Houthis want to time the open­ing of a new front in “Al-Jouf” area with the Shi­ite reli­gious Ghadeer Fes­ti­val tomorrow.

Demo­graph­i­cally, in Saudi “Al-Jouf” there is a big con­cen­tra­tion of Shi­ite Ismaili sect, who rebelled two years ago against the Saudi gov­ern­ment to protest the dete­ri­o­rat­ing eco­nomic con­di­tions and the lack of devel­op­ment projects.

Other devel­op­ment in Yemen. The south-Yemen oppo­si­tion “Hirak” changed its name from “Supreme Coun­cil of the peace­ful rev­o­lu­tion in the south” to “Supreme Coun­cil of peace­ful mobil­ity” (short “Hasm”), get­ting more orga­nized by the for­ma­tion of an exec­u­tive body con­tains a chair­man, four deputies, 41 mem­bers, as well as Secretary-General, spokesman, and a Sec­re­tary General.
