Preparing for a wider conflict: Houthis announce large-scale mobilization

Yemen's Ansarullah rebel movement (Houthis) has announced a large-scale mobilization in the north of the country. The campaign covers the provinces of Saada, Dhamar, Ibb, Al-Bayda, Hodeidah, and Al-Mahwit. In preparation for possible attacks on Saudi Arabia and a wider conflict in the region, the Houthis are strengthening tribal support, conducting accelerated military training, establishing additional training centers, and bolstering defenses in key areas, primarily Marib, Taiz, and Hodeidah.

The main reasons for the large-scale mobilization are said to be rising tensions in the Middle East region amid US and Israeli aggression against Iran, internal pressure in Houthi-controlled areas, and the protracted impasse in negotiations between the rebels and the internationally recognized government of Yemen, which relies heavily on Saudi Arabia for support.

Earlier, the Houthis announced the creation of a new internal structure—the "General Mobilization Forces." The Tehran-backed rebel movement hopes to form a network of thousands of volunteers in every district of the provinces under their control, ensuring "eyes and ears" in every village, no matter how small. The structure of these units is modeled on Iran's Basij, a volunteer civilian organization under the IRGC. When recruiting for the new units, the Yemeni rebels are primarily relying on young people. New recruits undergo training in the use of small arms. weapons and study the ideology of the movement.

    Earlier, the Houthis announced the creation of a new internal structure, the General Mobilization Forces.
    And they can do it, they have been fighting for so many years now and they will win, they have balls of iron, even though they run around in rubber slippers.
    Victory to them!

      They've been saying for so long that they need to create problems for the US and its lackeys, but the Houthis and Iran are the ones who are really capable of doing this.

        They should be helped, but our people are silent, and now they are the support of Russia.

          They may not be a support, but they are clearly acting on our side.
          Or at least in our favor.

      But for some reason the USA and Israel didn’t throw it at them.
      Answer why?

    Unfortunately, the fifth column will not allow us to provide assistance to forces opposing our enemies. Although the principle "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" sometimes works very well. Unfortunately, this is not the case with us.

      Doesn’t the fact that they have DShK machine guns mean anything?

        DShK machine guns? So, you're saying that if someone in the world (various gangs, drug cartels, rebels, pirates, partisans, government forces, etc.) has SOVIET weapons, that means we're helping them? Very far-reaching conclusions!

    Yep. And the Papuans of the Mumbo Yumbo tribe have announced the purchase of easily transportable grills for more efficient disposal of human flesh. The whole world is trembling with fear.

      The Papuans of the Mumbo-Yumbo tribe can learn from the CIA-VSUS tribe, come to the USA and eat someone

        Biden's days of letting everyone in without a second thought are over. Now they're letting in far fewer, but deporting far more. I wish the same for you, regarding "essential specialists."
