Houthi and POLISARIO as Regional Influence Tools
The article explains how armed groups supported by regional powers, such as the Houthis in Yemen and the Polisario in Western Sahara, utilize pressure and exhaustion tactics against targeted countries to enhance their supporters' influence and expand regional tensions. The Houthis attack airports and vital facilities in Saudi Arabia using advanced weaponry, backed by Iran, aiming to wear down defenses and ease pressure on Iran, while increasing costs for Saudi Arabia without engaging in direct conventional conflict. In North Africa, Algeria continuously supports the Polisario to open a pressure front against Morocco by providing weapons, political protection, and diplomatic support, with the goal of maintaining Algeria's influence in the region and keeping Morocco occupied in ongoing conflict. These two models demonstrate how states invest in their proxy armed groups to achieve strategic objectives and expand regional influence through threats and escalation without direct confrontation.
