Taiz was associated with resistance to Imamate rule even before the republic was established. It saw clashes with Imam Yahya’s forces in 1921, and Imam Ahmad later chose it as the seat of his rule in 1948. In 1955, officer Ahmad al-Thulaya laid siege to his palace in an attempted coup. After the September 26, 1962 revolution, the city became a center of the republican and national movement. It later emerged as a focal point of the 2011 protests and, since fighting broke out in 2015, has become a stronghold of government forces and popular resistance against the Houthis. Current battles are concentrated around the highlands and supply routes. On October 30, the Taiz Military Axis announced that 38 Houthis had been killed or wounded. Meanwhile, Women Journalists Without Chains documented 60 civilian deaths and 138 injuries between early September and October 20, attributing responsibility for the incidents to the Houthis.
