Southern Forces and the Northern War
The article discusses the escalation of confrontations and military clashes in Yemen following the end of the UN ceasefire in October 2022, with an increase in Houthi attacks on military sites, operations in the Red Sea, and inside Yemen. It highlights the mobilization of southern forces on one hand, and their reorganization under Saudi leadership on the other, raising questions about who has the authority to decide when to mobilize the southern forces and how prepared they are to engage in a comprehensive battle against the Houthis—especially given internal divisions and strained relations with Riyadh. The article also notes that the southern forces are primarily focused on protecting the south and avoiding participation in northern battles due to military and political risks and challenges, amid a surge that could lead to a large-scale military escalation or international pressure to maintain regional stability.
