Yemen’s internationally recognized government, backed by Saudi Arabia, said on Oct. 5 that it had launched a large-scale military campaign against the Houthi movement, with the stated aim of retaking all areas under Houthi control. The announcement came after the Houthis pushed south rapidly in September and seized the Bab el-Mandeb Strait along with large stretches of the Red Sea coast, pushing Yemen’s civil war back into a high-intensity phase. Red Sea shipping routes and Saudi energy facilities have now become central pressure points in the conflict. Rashad al-Alimi, chairman of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council, said in a televised address on Sunday that government forces would continue operations until the country was free of Houthi control. The military later called on the Houthis to lay down their arms. Al-Alimi said the decision to launch the counteroffensive came after all chances to de-escalate the conflict had failed. He also thanked Saudi Arabia for its support and called on regional allies and international partners to assist government forces and state institutions.
