Yemen: The Saudis are in trouble!
The war in Yemen continues with all its cruelty. After four years of starvation and massacres and nearly a hundred thousand civilians killed, Victory is still far for Saudis. Prince Muhammed may have to face defeat, because everything indicates that things are getting worse.
Because the resistance of the Houthis could not break, the biggest ally of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, hastily he withdrew its troops from Yemen last month. This could have a major impact on the course of the war. As the Saudis were just beating Yemen with airstrikes, UAE troops, with experience in Afghanistan, within NATO ground fighting, and against the Houthis limited progress was made possible by them. further, UAE money was what kept attached to the unstable gangs fighting the houties so far. Now, UAE are leaving Yemen to hurry because the process seems to have accelerated. Can the Saudis alone lead the war in Yemen? Good, it seems quite difficult.
Apart from this, the Saudis have another problem. The Houthis troops are bombing important places in Saudi Arabia drone that developed in recent months. He 1 of August, during the military parade Saudi forces, 32 Saudis were killed in a drone attack Houthis. They attacked simultaneously with pumps, causing serious damage to the Saudis. Other targets of attacks drone of the Houthis include airports, ammunition depots and military bases. The attack Abha International Airport, a 200 km from the border of Yemen, It was quite critical. During these four years, the Houthis crossed the border between Saudi Arabia and Yemen regularly, Saudi dodging military points in the highlands. further, the Houthis attacked Saudi cities with medium-range missiles. Although these attacks always annoyed the Saudis, somehow they were manageable. But the drone strikes are more successful, and they can be expanded and improved.
Saudis may begin to negotiate a good deal. Somehow they will try to lose the Houthis on the negotiating table. Once again, your best ally is US imperialism.
The defeat of Saudi Arabia in Yemen will be a positive development for the peoples of the Middle East and the world. Thus, It is the duty of the class-conscious workers oppose the war in Yemen. What is essential for emancipation is the union of workers in the Middle East in the revolutionary class struggle against the imperialist capitalist system, no matter their religion, cult or ethnicity.
