Aden, NewsYemen:
Mansour Saleh, deputy head of the media department in the Southern Transitional Council, considered that the intense attack by the Houthi militia on Marib "is basically linked to the approaching end of the battle, due to international pressure, especially the direction of the American administration to stop the war, in addition to the international position and the position of the envoy of the Secretary-General of the United Nations." who distracts from the Houthi excesses. "
Saleh said, in an interview with "Erem news", that through these pressures, "the Houthi group seeks to expand its presence on the ground and to also enhance its negotiating position in the final settlement negotiations."
However, the deputy head of the media department in the Southern Transitional Council, did not rule out "the existence of understandings under the auspices of Turkey and Iran, to empower Houthi from the north, and to seek to empower the Muslim Brotherhood in the south."
This assumption is reinforced - Mansour Saleh says - the lack of seriousness of the Brotherhood’s military forces in waging a battle, and instead of their keenness to confront and repel the attack, we see them withdraw their forces from Marib and push them towards the south, in more than one location.
