Legitimacy Governs the Militia Siege in Jouf

The Yemeni National Army forces tightened their siege on the center of Bert Al-Anan district of Al-Jawf Governorate, after liberating all of the district’s areas from the Houthi militia. Military sources stated that the army forces liberated the Afi region and the surrounding Habash mountain range, and the Qash’an mountain range in the same district, where the militia was using it as a springboard to attack the national army forces in the vicinity of the district’s center. Control of the area and mountain ranges enabled the national army to complete its mission. The military cordon imposed on the dispensary center controlled by the militia.

The army forces, led by Brigadier Haikal Hanaf, will continue to impose a tight siege on the center of the district, until the Houthi militia forces are forced to surrender. He noted that the army avoids storming the center, in order to preserve the safety of civilians, as the center has a high population density.

In addition, the Houthi militia sustained heavy losses in the Al Hudaydah governorate, during the joint forces’ response to attacks they launched on separate areas south of Al Hudaydah in the past two days. Sources of the joint forces confirmed that approximately 44 Houthi gunmen were killed and wounded, during the joint forces’ response to the militia’s attacks on the Hayis district and other areas in the governorate.

One year after the Stockholm Agreement, the Houthi militia continues to impede the implementation of the agreement. This has unprecedented international significance, through which the United Nations has responded to its wishes and changed two heads of the International Observer Group. The UN is prepared to change the third if it dares and tells the truth that it impedes the implementation of the agreement.
