What happened
The head of Yemen’s governing body, Rashad al-Alimi, has called on the public to mobilize and join the Saudi-backed armed forces to counter Houthi advances toward the Bab al-Mandeb strait. Al-Alimi also announced that the government offers amnesty to any Houthi fighter who abandons the movement and joins the government forces. The calls for general mobilization were made amidst ongoing attacks by Houthi forces on Saudi infrastructure and targets.
Why it matters
The renewed conflict in Yemen, following attacks on Saudi targets, is causing significant regional instability. The attacks include strikes on Saudi capital Riyadh and other locations, leading to international travel warnings and increased risk to commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
