Houthi Rebels and Al-Shabaab Expand Cooperation
The article discusses the evolution of the relationship between the Houthi group in Yemen and Al-Shabaab in Somalia, which has shifted from arms deals and smuggling networks to a more organized level involving exchange of delegations, military training, and sharing expertise in drones and explosives. Reports indicate that over 100 members of Al-Shabaab have traveled to Yemen for training on drones and weapons, while the Houthis have sent trainers to areas controlled by the Somali movement. The two sides have also exchanged weapons, including missiles and military equipment, through smuggling networks that rely on front companies. The relationship continues to develop with the aim of enhancing each side's capabilities, amid concerns that expertise in drones and improvised explosive devices could be transferred across the region, posing a threat to maritime security in the Gulf of Aden and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
