Reports coming from #Yemen that Ansarullah forces continue assaulting Mareb, thus Houthi leaders prove once again what was known about their agenda. From the beginning in 2013-14, Houthis had larger strategic goals that depended upon military aggression, not peace talks. Now there are new battles occurring on other fronts, not only west of Taiz and south of al-Hodeida, but north of Abs where coalition forces pushed south to cut off roads connecting the Red Sea coast to inland Hajja province.

When Saleh and family, including nephew Tareq Mohammad, appeared to recover control of #Yemen capital last Friday, his admirers, apologists immediately revived old praise for Saleh as a “smart” political survivor. This was most common view of Saleh in 1990s and 2000s. /1 But only in a country with dismally low standards of national politics would a leader like Saleh be praised as “smart.” In reality, Saleh practiced divide and rule politics that ruined any chance of unity in 1990s, while keeping Yemen mired in poverty. /2
