Informed sources in Sanaa said that the leader of the Houthi rebels Abdul-Malik al-Houthi chose his uncle Abdul-Karim al-Houthi as his successor in the event of his death or murder, and authorized him to manage most of the group’s affairs in Sana’a and other provinces, while keeping a small range of power for his cousin, Muhammad Ali al-Houthi, head of the so-called Supreme Revolutionary Committee, and his brother Abdul Khaleq al-Houthi, as was reported in “by Asharq Al-Awsat” newspaper.
In a letter to the UN Security Council and UN Secretary-General António Guterich, the UAE considered the liberation of Hodeidah as “crucial” event to re-engage the Houthis in peace talks, calling on the international community to perform more “pressure” on the rebels By cutting off the supply of weapons to them by Iran, including ballistic missiles and guided missiles against ships and drones, as well as hundreds of thousands of landmines and improvised explosive devices that kill Yemeni civilians throughout the country.
