Developments in Taiz suggest Houthi plans continue
The article presents a historical and political analysis of the "Yemenization" project and its role in shaping the geography of the Yemeni state. It focuses on the city of Taiz as a central element in resisting Houthi expansion. It clarifies that Yemenization is not only related to the current Yemeni geography but also involves transforming the political concept of Yemen itself—so that land, people, and political tools become a cover for control imposed throughout history, from the Imamate to the Republic and the Houthis. The article emphasizes that the Houthis are seeking to exploit the institution of unity and Yemeni geography to expand their influence, viewing the control of Sana'a or Taiz not merely as battles for power, but as struggles over identity, territory, and regional security. It warns that continued Houthi expansion could pose broader threats to the region, urging a rethink of the question from "Who rules Sana'a?" to "Who rules Taiz and in whose interest?" with the aim of limiting hegemonic and expansionist risks, and protecting resources and maritime routes from expansionist ambitions.
