Ansarullah Fighters Recapture Area in Sada’a
Reports coming out of the city on Monday indicate that the revolutionaries along with army units inflicted major losses on al-Qaeda terrorists and pro-Hadi militants, and managed to regain full control over al-Safra district.
Also on monday, fierce clashes erupted between the Ansarullah forces and pro-Hadi militants in Aden as the popular fighters are pressing ahead with their fight against al-Qaeda terrorists and pro-Hadi militants. Dozens of militants lost their lives during the clashes.
The clashes between the popular Ansarullah and the Saudi-backed loyalists of the fugitive president continue in the Southern parts of the country as Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for twelve days now to restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The 12 days of the Saudi-led aggression has killed at least 887 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.
Hadi stepped down in January and refused to reconsider the decision despite calls by Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement.
Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.
Five Persian Gulf States — Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait — and Egypt that are also assisted by Israel and backed by the US declared war on Yemen in a joint statement issued on March 26.
US President Barack Obama authorized the provision of logistical and intelligence support to the military operations, National Security Council Spokesperson Bernadette Meehan said late on March 25.
She added that while US forces were not taking direct military action in Yemen, Washington was establishing a Joint Planning Cell with Saudi Arabia to coordinate US military and intelligence support.
