Is South Yemen on way to autonomy?
An escalation in clashes between the Islah Party and the STC may alter the playing field and affect a comprehensive settlement, reports Al-Ahram Weekly.
Both Islah and STC are part of the PLC, backed by the Arab Coalition for Support of Legitimacy in Yemen led by Saudi Arabia. The Head of PLC Rashad Al-Alimi asked the head of STC, Aidarous Al-Zubaidi, who is a member of the council, to direct his forces to stop fighting the government army in the south.
Current fighting between STC and Islah forces in Shabwa seems to be unsettled “as the Houthi rebels are backed by Iran, Islah forces are backed by regional powers and neither is working for the Yemeni people’s interest”, according to Saudi commentator Abdul-Aziz Alkhames.
“STC fighting is not against the legitimate government as they are part of it, but it is mainly against the Islah Party. The Islah militia and forces within the ‘legitimate’ government cooperate with Houthi rebels. Look what they did in areas they control, they not only did not fight the Houthis there but let them take it. Not only in Shabwa, but in Taiz, Islah are the reason the Houthis are still holding up,” AlKhames added.
This rivalry between two components of the PLC is not helping with the effort to achieve peace.
Some observers saw the recent escalation of fighting as a way by warring factions to strengthen their negotiating position in the anticipated political process towards a peaceful solution to the Yemen crisis.
Asked about the STC and its move to complete its control of Southern Yemen as an obstacle to a political solution that stipulates a unified country with all political factions involved, the Saudi commentator said there is more understanding now of the southerners’ aspirations. “I think the call for some sort of autonomy for Southern Yemen is becoming more ‘acceptable’ to certain parties now. The file of the status of the south is now on the table in preparation for a final settlement. It is becoming more evident that southerners will not accept the full rule of Sanaa again. One of the options to avoid full separation is that the south enjoys self-rule within a unified country,” he added.
Apart from the separation of the country into two Yemens, with the south free of Iranian-backed Houthis, there is another important issue. Most of Yemen’s energy resources – oil, gas, and pipelines – are in the south. South Yemen will also be in control of the strategically important southern entrance to the Red Sea in Aden. Any political solution will have to find answers to these issues if the STC is to gain autonomy in the south.

Al-Wadea’a border crossing closed, amid expectations of renewed confrontations in eastern Yemen
The Land Transport Authority of the government loyal to Saudi-led coalition has issued directives to suddenly close the Al-Wadea’a border crossing between Yemen and Saudi Arabia to travelers.
Activists on social media circulated what they said a circular issued by the pro-coalition transport authority, in which it called on international transport companies to stop trips through the Al-Wadea’a crossing, starting from tomorrow, Thursday, until next Sunday.
Activists suggested that the reason for this decision was due to the implementation of a military operation to enable the “Hadrami Elite” militia loyal to the UAE to control the points and sites of the Islah Party-affiliated “141st Brigade” led by Hashim al-Ahmar, who is under house arrest in Aden.

Coalition plans to establish new militia in Mahra
The Saudi and UAE-led coalition is planning to establish a new militia in Mahra province, eastern Yemen, bordering Oman, said an official in the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC).
Khaled Saeed Taha, director of the so-called Cultural Department of the STC in Mahra affirmed that the coalition directed the establishment of a militia ” The Mahri elite and Mahra Defense Forces” , in order to stabilize the pillars of what he called “security and the southern army.
He pointed out that a meeting was held for a number of notables and sheikhs who demanded the removal of all Yemeni military brigades from Mahra, under the pretext of implementing the so-called “Riyadh Agreement”, which was signed on November 5, 2019, which stipulates the return of presidential protection brigades and Islah militants to Aden, after they were expelled by the UAE-backed militia in August of the same year.
The UAE and Saudi Arabia are seeking to transfer security chaos to Mahra, through bringing in members of their militias from Dhalea and Yafa districts, after they took control of the provinces of Abyan and Shabwa.
The Saudis handed those provinces to its militias to make it easier for Saudi Arabia to implement its project, which is extending the oil pipeline through Yemeni territory in Mahra to the port of Nishtun on the Arabian Sea.

In Response to US-British Presence, Al-Mahra to Confront Foreign Forces
Al-Mahra Governorate witnessed large movements to confront the foreign forces in the governorate, standing with its wise leadership headed by Sheikh Ali Al-Huraizi.
This came after a meeting of tribal sheikhs organized by Al-Mahra sit-in committee, to discuss the urgent developments taking place in the governorate, especially the escalation of US-British reinforcements, and the mobilization of the occupying Emirati factions. The committee said in a statement, "It has become necessary to confront the foreign forces deployed on the coasts and vital sites of the governorate," warning of Western efforts to implement new military construction.
The mobilization of the Al-Mahra tribes comes within the framework of the escalating people in the province against the invading foreign forces, which seek to exploit the assets and wealth of the eastern regions, and multiply the suffering of the citizens.

Islah Party vows fierce resistance against Emirati-backed separatists in southern Yemen
The Islah Party has vowed to make the southern provinces a place of massacre for the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC), in response to the Council ending Islah’s presence there.
Mukhtar al-Rahbi, a former media advisor to the military leader in the Islah party, Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, said: “The STC thinks that it will control and rule all the southern provinces, but this is an illusion.”
He added: “The south will be a fire that will devour anyone who tries to tamper with it and control it by force of arms, fire and external support.”
The statements of the media official carry a clear indication of the resumption of attritional attacks, which are usually attributed to Al-Qaeda, against the STC in the provinces of Aden, Shabwa and Abyan.

UAE-backed STC promises to declare Mahra, Socotra independent region
The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) on Tuesday anticipated the overthrow of Mahra province with a new offer of its social forces in an attempt to provide a popular incubator to achieve its goals there.
The head of the Southern Dialogue Team affiliated with the STC, Ahmed Omar bin Farid, promised during a meeting with a delegation from the Council of the Sons of Mahra and Socotra that the two provinces would be declared an independent region in the future.
The STC’s offer came at a time when it intensified its military and political movement to complete its control over the eastern provinces of Yemen, after its success in seizing the southern provinces.
It is not yet known whether the STC’s threat to separate Mahra and Socotra from Hadramout is a message to the Hadrami forces that refuse to surrender to the STC and wave the announcement of the state of Hadramout, which includes Mahra and Socotra within a federal union in Yemen, or an attempt to mobilize the feelings of citizens there who demand their separation from Hadramout.

The Yemeni eastern governorate of Mahara is experiencing "suspicious military moves", the Southern Transitional Council (STC) said Saturday, seemingly paving way for the governorate's takeover.
At a meeting chaired by Eidroos al-Zobaidi, STC chairmanship board discussed the "suspicious military moves taken by some forces applying the agendas of Muslim Brotherhood group and Houthi militias in Mahara," according to the STC website.
The moves "include mobilization of armed groups in some of Mahara districts, attempts to settle them as displaced gatherings and smuggling arms to them to stir disorder and terrify civilians," it added.
The STC "rejects trusting any military or security duties to elements from outside the governorate, and supports the empowerment of Mahara people to manage their governorate's security and military affairs."

The Yemeni government security troops on Saturday were given control over their buildings in Zinjobar, the provincial capital of Abyan south Yemen, three years after the Southern Transitional Council (STC) forces seized the sites.
Based on recent understandings, Abyan security troops (led by Abyan police director, Brigadier General Ali Nasser BaAzab) entered Zinjobar, Abyan provincial security department said in a statement.
The troops deployed in their former camps, and the governorate's police leadership resumed work from their headquarters in Zinjobar, it added.
The move comes as part of the Riyadh Agreement application, in support of stability and the principle of tolerance and rank unity, according to the statement.
"Stabilizing security in all the governorate's districts and combating the terrorists are one of the foremost priorities," Abyan police director said.
"Abyan has suffered from woes of conflicts, and it's time to unite.. and start a new chapter," BaAzab added.
The Emirati-backed STC forces seized Zinjobar and other areas in Abyan in August 2019, after bloody infighting with government troops that were positioned in the port city of Shoqra and rural areas in Abyan during the last three years.

Islah party hints to uprising against Riyadh-formed Presidential Council
The Islah party (the Yemeni branch of the Muslim Brotherhood) has stepped up its attack on Riyadh-formed presidential council, threatening to topple the council formed by the Saudi-Emirati coalition.
According to Belqees TV’s report on Wednesday, the Yemeni people will not be silent about the practices of the Riyadh-formed Presidential Council against state institutions and the plundering of wealth.
Al-Alimi will soon find himself in direct confrontation with the Yemenis, in an explicit hint of a new popular uprising to overthrow the Riyadh Council, the report said.
Al-Alimi’s decisions have become provocative to most of the parties loyal to the Saudi-led coalition, the report said, pointing to the expansion of armed confrontations throughout the southern provinces to counter what he described as the “outbreak” of Emirati factions.
The hints coincide with Islah factions’ attempts to restore its military and political presence in the southern provinces, after they were expelled from their most prominent strongholds in Shabwa and Abyan provinces.

Within the recent events of the escalation in looting Yemen’s wealth by the US-Saudi aggression, Shabwa governorate now witnesses conflicts between Emirati-Saudi occupation forces.
Saudi and Emirati regimes work through their mercenaries on the ground to impose their control in a manner that serves the interests of Western countries, primarily the US and Britain.
They all aim to plunder Yemen’s oil and gas resources and divide Yemen, starting with the announcement of the US-Saudi aggression on Yemen eight years ago, leading to conflicts between their mercenaries who are basically the tails of the occupation in the southern governorates.
The conflict between the US-Saudi mercenaries in all the occupied governorates and in Shabwa in particular is not new. What is new is that this conflict in this exporting oil and gas governorate has reached its maximum limits.

Sources stated that the British forces arrived at the Al-Ghaydah Civil Airport, from which they, along with the American forces, took a military base on the Arabian Sea in eastern Yemen, since the beginning of 2018.
The sources confirmed that the continued influx of foreign forces into Al-Mahra comes in the context of ambitions to control the oil and gas regions far from confrontations with the Sana'a forces.
The sources indicated that foreign forces carry out many hostile tasks, in flagrant violation of Yemeni sovereignty and all international agreements.

Audio: France Deploys Troops To Steal Yemen’s Natural Gas
France has reportedly deployed soldiers to Yemen in order to “defend” Yemeni liquid natural gas. Were the French invited to send military into the war-torn Middle Eastern country by the Yemeni government? No, not exactly, but hey, someone’s got to look out for the interests of French fossil fuel companies that stand to lose a lot of money if Yemen’s LNG production facilities fall into the wrong hands. Jimmy and Ethiopian-American journalist Hermela Aregawi discuss this latest example of French imperialism in the Middle East and similarities with the United States’ seizure of one-third of Syria to capture that nation’s oil supply.

Yemeni president orders separatists to stop military operations
Pro-UAE forces have recently taken control of Shabwa governorate, bringing them into conflict with other pro-govt groups.
The head of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) Rashad al-Alimi has ordered United Arab Emirates-backed separatists to stop military operations in the country’s south.
The notice issued to the head of the Southern Transitional Council, and fellow council member, Aidarous al-Zubaidi, on Monday, and seen by Reuters, is an attempt by al-Alimi to step in and stop an STC campaign against rival factions within the government umbrella, including the Islah Party.
Al-Alimi said that all military operations should be stopped until the implementation of a troop redeployment in Yemen’s south, stipulated in a power-sharing agreement from 2019, could be fully implemented.

STC forces seize Abyan south Yemen
Forces affiliated to the Southern Transitional Council (STC) forces on Tuesday seized Shoqra city and other parts of the Yemeni southern governorate of Abyan, hours after the Emirati-backed forces declared the start of a military campaign to "combat terrorism".
The STC forces entered Shoqra without fighting, field sources said, after the official government troops withdrew from the coastal city.
"It was agreed, with Shoqra military leadership and Abyan's security director and governor, to facilitate our advancement to Shoqra and other areas," military leader in STC forces said in remarks carried by STC TV on Twitter.
"This success comes as part of southerners' solidarity," Mukhtar al-Noubi added. "Hadhramout Valley, Seyoun and other southern provinces will be liberated from terrorist groups,"
On Monday evening, the STC declared the start of a military operation in Abyan against "terrorist and radical organizations in the governorate," the second campaign within a month, after the seizure of Shabwa.

Pro-government Yemenis have criticised UN statements urging the Houthi rebel group to refrain from military escalation in Hodeidah. This comes after the militants launched an attack in the besieged city of Taez that killed 10 members of Yemen's army on Monday.
On Tuesday, the UN Mission to support the Hodeidah Agreement said it "observed with great concern the significant military presence" of Houthi militants in the port city in the past days.
But despite the UN's negative stance towards the Houthi mobilisation of forces in Hodeidah, pro-government activists still accused the international body of leniency towards the Houthis after the attacks on Taez.
Up until the time of publication, the UN had not officially condemned the incident in Taez.

In a statement on Monday, the key 12 political parties in the city including the GPC and the Islah said, "There is nothing new in the army's heroically holding grounds against the attack of the Houthis, but the new thing is that the terrorist militia are using the attitudes of the UN envoy and his military advisor as guidelines in dealing with the so-called "truce," which the envoy and his advisor keep bragging about as an accomplishment without thinking of the continued fall of child and women victims in the Houthi shelling on the neighborhoods of Taiz."

Major General Al-Razami called for opening of ports to the entry of oil and commercial derivatives ships and to stop harassing and piracy as this violates all international laws.

UN deputy relief chief warns of worsening of Yemen’s humanitarian catastrophe
The UN deputy relief chief on Monday called for quick and decisive international action as Yemen’s humanitarian catastrophe is expected to worsen.
“Yemen’s humanitarian catastrophe is about to get much worse,” said Joyce Msuya, UN assistant secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and deputy emergency relief coordinator.
The temporary truce represents a landmark step forward, she said. “But the truce alone will not be enough to stop what we fear is coming. Humanitarian needs across the country, including the risk of famine in some areas, could rise sharply in the coming weeks and months. The international community must act quickly and decisively to stop this.”
The need to protect Yemen’s economy from domestic challenges and from the impact of the conflict in Ukraine remains urgent, she said.
The exchange rate, which is a key factor in how much food people can afford to eat, is still collapsing. The Yemeni rial is now trading at about 1,120 to the US dollar in Aden. Most of the currency’s gains since the truce began have now been wiped out. That means many more families are going hungry again, she said.
The Ukraine conflict is also threatening the supply chains that bring in Yemen’s food, nearly 90 percent of which must be imported.

Yemeni gov't to swap over 2000 prisoners with Houthis: Official
The Yemeni government has stricken a UN-brokered prisoner swap deal with the Houthi group, member of the government prisoner committee told the Emirati Etihad paper on Saturday.
Already-inked, the deal is expected to see soon the exchange of 2,223 prisoners from the two sides, Majid Fadhaiyl added.
The swap will take place in two phases, with the first leading to release of 800 captives from each party, he said, noting that 600 Houthi prisoners would be freed in the second phase in exchange of 23 army captives, including senior leaders.
Some 1,000 civilian abductees are now experiencing different types of violations at Houthi jails, though this figure always changes since new humans are added daily to Houthi-detained abductees and hostages, the Yemeni official said.
"The Houthis lack willingness, and persistently exploit prisoner file for political and propaganda purposes," he claimed, citing the Houthi "execution of nearly 300 abductees and captives at detention."
Fadhaiyl called for international pressures on the Houthi group to stop the growing abduction in areas under its control, as these acts "disagree with international conventions and jeopardize the truce."

Saudi woman gets 45 years in prison for social media use
A Saudi court has sentenced a woman to 45 years in prison for allegedly damaging the country through her social media activity, according to a court document obtained Wednesday. It was the second such sentence that has drawn scrutiny of the kingdom this month.
Little is known about Nourah bint Saeed al-Qahtani, who hails from one of the biggest tribes in Saudi Arabia and has no apparent history of activism. An official charge sheet seen by The Associated Press and human rights groups describes her case as involving her social media use, though Saudi officials did not respond to requests for comment.
The sentence follows international outcry over a similar 34-year prison sentence handed down to Salma al-Shehab, a Saudi doctoral student at Leeds University in England.
Earlier this month, a specialized criminal court delivered the 45-year sentence under the kingdom’s broad counterterrorism and cybercrime laws. That court, which normally handles political and national security cases, gave the sentence during al-Qahtani’s appeal of her earlier conviction.

Saudi Arabia: Quash 34-year prison sentence for student Salma al-Shehab
The Saudi Arabian authorities must immediately and unconditionally release Salma al-Shehab, a Leeds University PhD student who has been sentenced to 34 years in prison solely for her writing and peaceful Twitter activity, Amnesty International said today.
Salma al-Shehab was initially sentenced to six years behind bars in mid-2022. Following an appeal at the Specialized Criminal Court (SCC) on 9 August 2022, a judge raised her sentence to 34 years in prison after a grossly unfair trial, to be followed by a 34-year travel ban from the date of her release.
“It is outrageous that Salma al-Shehab, a PhD student and mother of two from Saudi Arabia’s Shi’a minority, has been handed down such a cruel and unlawful punishment simply for using Twitter and retweeting activists who support women’s rights,” said Diana Semaan, Amnesty International’s Acting Deputy Director for the Middle East and North Africa.

Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations, Majid Takht-Ravanchi, made the remarks while speaking to reporters on Friday on the sidelines of the Tenth Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons held at the UN headquarters in New York.
"The issue of the Middle East as a region free of nuclear weapons is one of the important discussions… because the Israeli regime, as the only possessor of hundreds of nuclear warheads, is not ready to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and place its nuclear facilities under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency," he said

Israeli defense minister in US to discuss Iran nuclear talks
Israel’s defense minister said Friday it was important to maintain capabilities for “defensive and offensive purposes” as he met with a senior U.S. official to reiterate Israel’s opposition to an emerging nuclear deal with Iran.
Israel is staunchly opposed to efforts by world powers to revive the 2015 nuclear agreement
My comment: BS. Israel already has nuclear weapons and is much more dangerous than Iran will be within the next ten years.
(* B P)
The nuclear deal is not ripe yet, and Israel’s worries are irrelevant
US administrations give themselves false credit for aiming to “contain Iran’s nuclear weapons program” that Tehran is willingly not aspiring to! In fact, Iran did not engage in any nuclear weapons program, not only due to the Sharia-based Fatwa of Grand Ayatollah Imam Ali Khamenei but also because it has demonstrated that there is no need for nuclear weapons to defend itself or deter an enemy like Israel. Iran’s verified missiles and drone capabilities and its success in establishing trustworthily dedicated and ideologically motivated allies in the Middle East are substantial deterrents. Israel and the US forces occupying parts of the Middle East have tasted Iran's allies’ capabilities during past confrontations in Lebanon and Iraq. While Israel is screaming to gain a bit more of the World’s attention, the indirect exchange of messages will continue between Iran and the US until the complete satisfaction of the Iranian requirements is achieved or the talks are suspended. It could be that the nuclear agreement between Iran and the US has matured, but the time for harvest is not yet ripe.

With Iranian drones, Russia complicates nuclear deal talks
Russia has obtained hundreds of Iranian drones capable of being used in its war against Ukraine despite U.S. warnings to Tehran not to ship them, according to Western intelligence officials.
The reported shipment marks the latest sign of what appears to be closer military cooperation between the longtime allies.
It also underscores warnings from critics of the ongoing negotiations for Iran to resume its compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal that the United States left in 2018. An agreement for Iran and the U.S. to return to the deal, which would grant Iran billions of dollars in sanctions relief in return for curbs on its nuclear program, is inching forward.
Opponents of a deal say lifting sanctions on Tehran could enable Russia to strengthen its war effort in Ukraine and circumvent penalties imposed after the February invasion by funneling oil and other products through Iran.
My comment: These drones do not have anything to do with the Nuclear Deal. And, what a hypocrisy: The US does not ship any arms to support one side in the Ukraine war?? So what, if Iran does the same?

[Sanaa gov.] Yemen's Military, Logistical Capabilities Frightening, Terrifying Israeli Entity
Hebrew media outlets claimed that the occupation entity launched strikes on Yemen during its aggression on the Gaza Strip. These allegations were denied by Mohammad Ali Al-Houthi member of the Supreme Political Council.
These allegations confirm to the public that Yemen's military and logistical capabilities are now frightening and terrifying the occupation entity.
This raises several questions, the most prominent of which is, is it possible for Tel Aviv to do a similar work? Does Sana’a have the tools that hurt Tel Aviv? Are we facing a new phase of the conflict? How are these statements read? Is it possible to consider it as a test to find out what the Yemenis might do if the occupation entity did something similar?
And why did the Hebrew channel take the statements as Yemen? Does it know that Saudi Arabia will not mind something similar? Can the Yemeni military capabilities hurt the occupation entity? And the next stage, is it possible to see surprises, especially in the conflict with the occupation entity?
The guest of the Yemeni Scene program on Al-Alam channel, head of the media department in the Yemeni presidency, Zaid Al-Ghursi, confirmed that the Israeli leaks express the extent of the great annoyance of the Israeli entity over the growing Yemeni forces in all fields.

Is the Israel-Iran proxy war encroaching into Yemen?
A cryptic message that Israel had bombed a 'third country' has led to speculation that Tel Aviv targeted a Houthi base in Yemen as part of its escalating and expanding war against Iran's militias in the region.
The most headline-grabbing of a series of strikes against the Iranian axis of militia groups took place in Yemen. The Israelis are not necessarily forthcoming when they conduct military operations abroad, but this one seems special: it is the first suspected time that the Israeli air force struck Houthi targets in Yemen.
An Israeli commander alluded to Yemen when he referred to a strike on a “third country” earlier in August. This is connected to a series of blasts in what was described as a ballistic missile factory in a military base near the Houthi-occupied capital of Sanaa.
Clearly someone in Israeli military circles wants his country to get the credit for the result.
All of this has a veil of allusion and obfuscation. It is still impossible to say definitively what happened. But given the trends of the last decade, it is not impossible to consider the question of why.
Two things are simultaneously true.
One: Iran has a growing proxy network which spans the Middle East. It is in power in Iraq and Lebanon and growing in strength in Yemen
Two: Iran’s adversaries have been hit by a campaign of ballistic missile strikes targeting their economies and major cities over recent years.
Israel has largely watched these developments passively, but misfortunes faced by one regional enemy of Iran can soon spread.
Tel Aviv has long sounded an alarm about Iranian missile programmes.
An attack on missile-making facilities would be both an interruption and deterrence of a further-reaching Houthi ballistic missile programme.
With the Houthis in power in much of Yemen, and their missile campaign against Saudi Arabia and the Emirates only increasing, it seems Israel may be drawn deeper into conflict in Yemen in a bid to defang this particular new threat.
For years, Israel has been in a similar position in Syria.
As American diplomats and others attempt to resuscitate the nuclear agreement, their leaders must appreciate the bind they are in. A new deal may not bring peace or stability. It could also do little to stop the Houthis’ missiles or Iranian militias south of Damascus. Dealing with each is an entirely different game.
Periodic and proportional half-measures will confine America and Israel to campaigns carried out piecemeal, and reactively, as Iran’s network of clients goes on expanding and growing ever more capable in the background.

Southern media, quoting diplomatic sources, reported that the Sultanate had informed Saudi Arabia of its concern about any change in the map of the situation in the province, noting that the Sultanate fears that the situation will spiral out of control, which may cast a shadow over the situation in the border areas.
In this context, activists posted on social media pictures of what they said were training exercises for the Omani army on the border with Yemen and a state of alert.

From southern Lebanon to Yemen: Houthi rebels deploy 'rock mines' first used by Israel
Expert believes Hezbollah learned technology and has exported knowledge to fellow Iran-backed group
Landmines recovered during clearing operations in Yemen support the long-held belief that Houthi rebels are using technology and know-how exported by other Iran-allied groups in the region to manufacture weapons, experts say.
Deminers in Yemen have come across mines disguised as stones and boulders that are similar to those used by Israel in Lebanon, said mine action veteran Chris Clark.
He believes Hezbollah in Lebanon, which — like the Houthis — is backed by Tehran, learnt to build similar devices and subsequently exported knowledge and components to Yemen.
“The conclusion wasn’t too hard to come to that Hezbollah is supporting the Houthis with technical training and support,” Mr Clark told The National.
Now, as director of special operations at the Saudi Project for Landmine Clearance (Masam), Mr Clark says he is seeing an even deadlier version of these rock mines in Yemen — specifically, in areas retaken from the Houthis by government forces.
“We are encountering copies that are basically the same concept but made locally,” he said.
“They are better quality than the ones from Lebanon and also incorporate infrared beams as a trigger mechanism.”
The Houthis are also deploying what are known as “bounding” anti-personnel fragmentation mines. These mines, which only began appearing in recent months, are usually linked to pressure plates or trip wires, requiring little force to activate.
“Traditional anti-personnel mines are designed to deploy only if stepped on. But these bounding types can kill someone standing 15 metres away as they jump from the ground and explode in a 360-degree circle, releasing deadly ball-bearings,” Mr Clark said.
He said these mines were first seen in the 1990s in the Balkan wars.

Statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation in Sana'a revealed the local production of dates and the quantity imported from abroad annually.
The statistic stated that the local production of dates amounted to more than 27 thousand tons annually, while Yemen imports more than 46 thousand tons of dates, with a value of more than seven billion riyals.
A source in the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation indicated, Wednesday, that the most prominent beneficiary of the bill for importing dates is Saudi Arabia, and the Yemeni farmer is the first with these amounts.
The source confirmed that more than two million date palms in Yemen can cover the import bill if investment and attention to municipal dates are made.
The source explained that the US-Saudi aggression and its tools caused the burning and destruction of nearly one million palm trees in Hajjah and Hodeidah, pointing out that the siege on fuel led to farmers’ reluctance to farm, and caused a significant decline in agricultural crops.

In Yemen, an Iran-backed terror group lays low — for now
A fragile truce has held in Yemen after years of war. Will it last?
The Houthis invaded Sana’a, Yemen’s capital, in 2014, and since then have taken control of the areas where roughly two-thirds of Yemenis live. During the truce, the Houthis still control those areas, though they have limited their attacks within the country — but they have also not yet fulfilled many of the concessions they promised.
“My brief take on the truce is that it fundamentally dangled a lot of carrots in front of the Houthis so that they are able to benefit from the peace in terms of resetting of forces. Obviously they benefit economically and have received an influx of humanitarian and commercial goods to help to strengthen their position within Yemen,” said Katherine Zimmerman, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. “All the while without actually having any concessions to the other parties who are begging for peace.”
John Kirby, coordinator for strategic communications at the National Security Council, told reporters on Wednesday that ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran touch only on its nuclear program, not its malign activities elsewhere in the region, such as in Yemen.

10 Yemen soldiers killed in 'dangerous escalation': government
Ten Yemeni soldiers were killed in an overnight rebel attack near the blockaded city of Taez, Yemen's government said on Monday, calling it a "dangerous escalation" after a months-long ceasefire.
The assault, which also left several soldiers wounded, was aimed at cutting off a ke
The Taez attack was a "blatant challenge to all initiatives and efforts seeking to end the war and achieve peace", Yemen's internationally recognised government said in a statement.
It was "an attempt to undermine efforts to expand and extend the humanitarian truce", it added.
Military sources said the rebels, who hold much of Yemen including the capital Sanaa, were trying to cut off the road linking Taez with government-controlled Lahj.

Amidst demands they open besieged Taiz's roads, Houthis fight fiercely to close last one
Instead of responding to growing demands to open vital roads to the years long besieged Taiz, Yemen's Houthi terrorists have fiercely escalated attacks against the city in an attempt to close the last road, local sources say.
Since early last night, waves on waves of Shia terrorists have been attacking the city's western outskirt under the cover of artillery shelling in a bid to block Al-Dhabab road, the last commercial and humanitarian corridor that connects the city with the outside world, but government forces fiercely resisted the attack until this Monday morning. Ten government soldiers were killed and five others injured and Houthis suffered more casualties, several source said.
„Yesterday's assault was under the auspices of the UN envoy, the UN member states and all enemies of Taiz," said prominent activist Mohammed Mahyoob on facebook.
"A sad day in Taiz. Ten people city defenders sacrificed their souls in the fiercest battle Taiz has seen," he said. "They received an order from the UN: Block the only lifeline for Taiz and then negotiate."

The attack resulted in the death of 10 soldiers and the wounding of 7 others, at a time when the efforts of the international community and the United Nations are focused on establishing and expanding the humanitarian truce and building on it to resume political efforts and achieve peace in Yemen.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement, “The government views the attack as a blatant challenge to all initiatives and endeavors aimed at ending the war and achieving peace, and an attempt to undermine efforts to extend and expand the humanitarian truce and to impose a full siege on the city of Taiz, which has already been under siege for seven years.”

Yemeni Official: Houthi Mines Disaster Will Last Decades
Director of Yemen's National Mine Action Program, Brigadier General Amin Al-Aqili accused the Iran-backed Houthi militias of continuing to plant mines in the war-torn country, saying the disaster they have created will take decades to resolve.
The Houthis have continued to plant the explosives in spite of the ongoing nationwide truce, he added, while noting that government estimates that the militias have planted over a million mines in Yemen.
He reiterated the call on the international community to pressure the Houthis to stop this malicious activity and hand over maps of where they planted the mines.
He stressed that the Houthis are systematically planting the mines and have accurate maps of their locations.
Moreover, the militias are still locally manufacturing the explosives, the parts of which are being smuggled from Iran, Aqili remarked.

Treading carefully: saving frankincense trees in Yemen
Conservation biologist Kay Van Damme works with locals on the Socotra archipelago to help save ancient trees and colourful invertebrates.
Over the years, with the island facing the environmental challenges of climate change and a civil war that has been under way since 2014, Van Damme started applying his knowledge to conserving endangered aquatic insects and crabs, as well as the remarkable local trees. Now, alongside undertaking fieldwork on Socotra, where he works directly with local communities, Van Damme is a postdoctoral researcher at Ghent and at Mendel University in Brno, Czech Republic.
