Anwar Al-Tamimi on Southern Forces' Weakness
The southern Yemeni forces represent the most effective power in confronting the Houthi militia and play a crucial role in securing the Bab al-Mandab Strait and vital water passages. It has been confirmed that weakening these forces threatens international navigation security and energy supply chains, especially after their capabilities were diminished due to airstrikes in recent months, which allowed the Houthis to advance toward strategic areas such as the strait. The southern forces, particularly the Giants Brigades, have managed to control the hills overlooking the strait and warn against exploiting elevated positions by the Houthis to target maritime traffic. Sources involved in the matter indicate that restoring control over Bab al-Mandab is necessary for regional stability, amid ongoing international movements and regional roles. Meanwhile, the Houthis continue to be reinforced through Iranian support and the involvement of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in managing operations, while the Southern Transitional Council persists in efforts to mobilize popular support to strengthen its capacity to confront the group and tighten control over vital areas.
