Southern Armed Forces precision drone strikes targeted Houthi barracks and military hardware across northern Al-Dhale, South Yemen front (Bab Ghalaq, Al-Fakhir, Murais). The strikes inflicted heavy casualties and countered Houthi reinforcements along the line of contact.

Southern tribes are special 😄. With a "Return to Sender" note attached, Mahra, South Yemen tribal members brought a truck load of trash and dumped it in front of the local authority building, because the government has been dumping the trash in tribal land.

On top of their outsized caregiving responsibilities at home, women academics were also playing an outsized role in caring (eg, emotionally/logistically) for students and colleagues who needed extra support in the context of Covid, and in volunteering for related institutional efforts, as well.

If the world had taken a firmer stance earlier—by enforcing @UN resolutions, holding Iran accountable for arming the Houthis, & preventing the Houthis from dictating the terms of peace—the situation might be different today. Instead, Yemenis&world are paying for yrs of inaction& misguided diplomacy.

Meanwhile, the Houthis used ceasefires & negotiations to regroup, rearm, and expand their control. 2025, Houthis have graduated from a domestic rebel group to a global threat. Their attacks on Red Sea shipping disrupted global trade, forcing the U.S. to launch a new bombing campaign in Yemen.

The agreement was meant to de-escalate fighting around Hodeidah, but it gave Houthis control over a critical port while they continued their military expansion unchecked. Rather than forcing the Houthis to abide by their commitments, intal comm repeatedly sought compromises that legitimized them.

This triggered Op Decisive Storm, on March 26, 2015. Although Aden & rest of the South was liberated by end of 2015. Failure to hold the Houthis accountable, combined w shortsighted peace deals like the Stockholm Agreement in 2018, emboldened the Houthis & derailed liberation of the North.

Summer Ahmed سمر احمد @summerahmed.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

This marked a significant escalation in the conflict, since the Houthis seized the capital Sana’a in September 2014, and started marching South. The attack in Aden was a direct challenge to Hadi’s authority and signaled that the Houthis were extending their military campaign beyond North Yemen.

March 19 marked ten years since the Houthis launched the air war in Yemen by bombing the presidential palace in Aden on March 19, 2015. Houthi/Saleh forces launched airstrikes, targeting the presidential palace in Aden, where President Hadi was staying after fleeing Sana’a. #SouthYemen

The Southern forces have consistently defeated the Houthis at every front, driven by a deep ideological and political opposition to the group.

This victory underscored a critical point: just as the Houthis were defeated and pushed out of most of South Yemen in 2015 and driven out of much of Yemen's West Coast from 2017 to 2018, they can be defeated when there is a genuine will to do so and a powerful force leading the charge.
