Alex Almeida Alex Almeida is the head security analyst at a leading risk advisory firm. Brief Analysis The GCC-backed ground campaign to liberate Sana is building momentum, but urgent points of focus for U.S. security cooperation are becoming evident as Houthi resistance stiffens. ince liberating the southern port city of Aden in July, forces loyal to Yemeni president Hadi Abdu Rabu S Mansour and their Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) allies have been engaged in a multipronged offensive to roll back Houthi control of the south. The United Arab Emirates mechanized brigade task force and Egyptian special forces backed by Emirati and Saudi AH-64 Apache helicopters are now battling to control Taizz, Yemen's third- largest city. Similar task forces have fanned out into Abyan, Bayda, and Ibb provinces, advancing within a hundred kilometers of the capital and liberating the Balhaf oil terminal. Houthi resistance has been stiffening in recent weeks, however. On August 25, a UAE-supported column ran into a Houthi ambush near Mukayras in Bayda province, losing at least seven UAE-supplied mine-resistant ambush- protected (MRAP) vehicles. The northward advance on Sana is now pausing as a second front develops from the east. EASTERN FRONT AGAINST SANA n August 7, an armored column entered Yemen's Marib province from Saudi Arabia at al-Wadiah border Ocrossing, composed of UAE ground troops and Saudi-trained Hadi loyalists.
