London paper forecasts prolonged Yemen conflict
The article addresses the escalation by Yemeni political forces opposing the Houthi group in a confrontation that reflects shifts in their strategies, as political and sovereign blocs have declared that the confrontation will be "comprehensive and decisive" with the goal of defeating the coup and restoring the Yemeni state. This comes after periods of calm and political negotiations that failed to end Houthi control over Sana'a and large parts of the country, amid support for the Houthis from Iran and their possession of an advanced arsenal of missiles and drones. The potential conflict is expected to be prolonged, given the Houthis' experience and their capacity for a war of attrition, necessitating coordinated military and political efforts, especially the southern front control, notably the Southern Transitional Council, over key factors that will shape the course of the confrontation and influence the future of the Yemeni state.
