Taiz, NewsYemen, special:
Simultaneously and suddenly, the military victories announced by the legitimate forces under the control of the Brotherhood evaporated in the Haradh district of Hajjah and the Jabal Habashi district, west of Taiz, after the Houthi militias managed to regain most of the positions they lost during the battles.
Although the scenario of the rapid fall of any victories announced by the legitimate forces under the Brotherhood was expected, especially in Taiz, due to the presence of previous experiences, the expectations indicated the opposite with regard to the battles of Haradh due to the strong support of the coalition leadership.
Optimism also prevailed with the launch of the battle to liberate the city of Haradh by the coalition and talk about the name “Happy Yemen Brigades” instead of the national army, with the push of Saudi and Sudanese forces to support the battles on the ground and with heavy artillery and air cover, this resulted in a lightning military operation that succeeded in besieging the Houthi militia Inside the city and talk about hours only to be cleared.
The transformation of these hours into 8 days raised doubts about the nature of the course of the battle. Last Friday, the matter ended with a sudden withdrawal of the legitimate forces from the positions they had seized at the entrances to the city of Haradh and its surroundings, according to “higher orders”, according to what a military source revealed to “NewsYmen”, so that the militias succeeded Houthi to lift the siege on its elements inside the city.
This mysterious and shocking scene brought back to the fore a reminder of the weakness of the legitimate forces as a result of corruption and the tampering of their leaders who occupy their positions simply for loyalty to the Brotherhood and General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar. The Fifth Military Region and its commander, Major General Yahya Salah, who led the recent battles of Haradh, are the most prominent examples of this.
Where the man has been leading the region for more than 4 years, without achieving any significant military achievement or for the region’s forces whose numbers in the lists exceed 20,000 individuals, according to informed sources, with the exception of the liberation of the Midi Directorate in April of 2018, despite the financial and material support he receives from the coalition From time to time.
The same is almost true of the commander of the Taiz axis, Major General Khaled Fadel, who has held this position for more than 4 years - he held it for two periods - and whose history is also devoid of any real military achievement equivalent to the volume of support received by the Axis forces and their size on the statements, which exceeded 40,000 personnel.
Salah and Fadel and their forces participate in mastering the so-called "seasonal battles" that are announced from time to time as decisive battles to liberate the areas of Taiz and Hajjah from the grip of the Houthi militia, but soon these battles stop and the militias can regain what they lost on the ground, It later became clear that the real reason for these battles was to receive financial support either from the legitimate government or from the coalition.
