Houthis target western coast
The Houthis chose to attack the western coast instead of Marib in order to achieve greater strategic and economic gains. The coast provides a broader horizon for mobilization and supply lines, and grants them control over the Bab al-Mandab Strait, which impacts international navigation and energy markets. This is because attacking Marib would require extensive battles with significant losses, and controlling Marib’s oil and gas fields would not meet all their needs. In contrast, the coast allows them to strengthen their positions more effectively. This choice reflects the group's balancing of military, economic, and political objectives, while also showcasing their ability to prioritize. It’s noticeable that the recent advances by the Houthis have allowed them to take control of important areas before that progress was halted by southern forces supported by tribes, amidst ongoing clashes.
