Mocha port as Yemen's vital lung
The article highlights the importance of the Yemeni port of Mokha from an economic and geopolitical perspective, outlining its history as a major source of national income for Yemen and its vital role in global trade, given its proximity to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, through which 15% of the world's trade—valued at one trillion dollars annually—passes. It also notes that in the past, the port faced multiple attempts by various states and occupying forces to control it. Today, it remains a target for attacks by Houthi militias, who have launched drone-borne weapons and missiles aimed at the quay and warehouses in an attempt to assert control or destabilize security. The article affirms that the port of Mokha is a crucial element of Yemen’s and the region’s national security, and that its stability is essential to ensuring the continuous movement of shipping and trade—especially amid militia threats and unrest. Supporting the Arab coalition and maintaining international protection are deemed the guarantees for preserving its vital role as a lifeline for millions of Yemenis.
