Yemeni government prepares to attack Houthis

The Houthi rebel group in Yemen, supported by Iran, has controlled Sanaa and parts of the northwest since 2014, benefiting from the Yemeni government’s weakness. However, recent Saudi-backed campaigns against separatists have bolstered the government’s confidence, leading to the formation of a Supreme Military Committee. The Houthis, feeling emboldened by their survival and influence, remain a formidable force, despite potential threats from the government and Saudi Arabia. The possibility of renewed conflict looms, particularly in strategic areas like Hodeidah, where the balance of power could shift significantly.
