Good times.
>>307390Finally some fresh bread.
Pro-Hadi accounts have cranked up their Baghdad Bob-factor considerably since the Mashjah/Talat al-Hamra front collapsed.
So far the footage of Hadi "gains" have only been from Jabal Dushsh al-Haqn.
http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=15.522664&lon=45.187626&z=14&show=/40815630/Jabal-Dushsh-al-HaqnIf true, it indicates to me that the houthis are exploiting the breach they made at Talat al-Hamra to the fullest.
Well, it doesn't take a rocket-scientist to figure out that the heights north of the N5 would drastically decrease in value if the houthis manage to reach the city or the wadi via the Sirwah-Marib road (out of ATGM range).

Gains: Taliban surround Gelan, Moqor, Ab Band, Dih Yak, and Jaghatu DHQs in Ghazni; Take control of Dahla Dam in Shah Wali Kot District in Kandahar and take over Western Maywand including besieging the DHQ, and close in on Zhari DHQ. In western Herat, Taliban enter Obe DHQ with ongoing clashes, and take over Khost Wa Fereng District in eastern Baghlan.
I updated the Districtmap to add pressure markers on DHQs and Capitals. For the best examples, check out Puli Khumri and Ghazni cities.

Russia finally managed to convince "reconciled" militants in Quneitra to take the green bus to opposition controlled areas.
They were heading to TFSA controlled zone in al-Bab but were denied entry yesterday by Sultan Murad Division and so they are stuck at the Abu Zandin crossing southwest of the city.
Today they tried to "peaceful protest" their way into TFSA territory but were met by a hail of bullets, casualties reported:

Yemeni war media /
The mujahideen of the army and the popular committees carried out large-scale offensive operations that resulted in the liberation of dozens of sites in the Jizan axis in the depth of Saudi Arabia, defeating the Saudi army forces, the mercenaries of the Sudanese army and the mercenaries of the aggression stationed there and inflicting heavy losses on them in many equipment.
The military media, at 3:00 p.m., tomorrow, Saturday, presents detailed scenes of the large-scale military operation that was carried out earlier, in which the Mujahideen were able - thanks to God and his support - to liberate more than 40 sites in the Jizan axis and control them completely, in a broad offensive operation in which various combat units participated.

Afghan Shitmupdate & Districtmupdate

Washir in Helmand, Farsi in Herat, Gizab in Daykundi, Shinkay in Zabul (with Shahjoy contested AND under siege), Dih Yak in Ghazni, Mandol (not shown) and Du Ab in Nuristan.
>>309915>actual air coverThe houthis' earlier advances on the Marib fronts proves it is possible without it, it's "just" a matter of suppressing enemy firing positions with artillery/ATGM/HMGs and storming with overwhelming manpower. I still believe the setbacks on the Kasara/Dushsh front was a tactical retreat and not a capitulation.

In light of recent uptick of violence, absence of Ru-Tr patrols on the M4, jihadi attacks on t*rks and weird t*rk base shuffling activities, i'd say the probability of the Idlib offensive resuming has increased drastically.
If anything happens, the first goal will be to reach Ariha from the south and east precisely how it was planned to be done before the t*rks intervened last year.
Advancing into Idlib city and far north of the M4 in general is still highly unlikely to happen due to T*rkish interest, but i predict that any roach nest south of/in the immediate vicinity of the M4 will be evacuated or meet the same fate as the observation bases of yore if an offensive does happen.
Jabal Zawiya -> Ariha -> al-Ghab -> Southern part of al-Wastani mountain -> Kabani (K*rds mountain, Latakia) -> Jisr al-Shughur.
>>310243Forgot to mention map is pre-Idlib offensive 2015 with current frontline (red line) drawn on it to show how different the modus operandi of SAA is today and how wide of a buffer zone is needed to control the M-4 between Ariha and Jisr al-Shughur.

>>310256Eh, it's very disjointed but here's my very strategic analISIS of what was supposed to happen and probably will happen on Jabal Zawiya if an offensive happens.
>Pt.1 Jabal ZawiyaFirst off, let's revisit what was happening before the roaches got tired of playing chicken with SAA:
SAA was strolling through Jabal Zawiya, doing the typical kotel tactics with what seemed like zero resistance. When they were in the process of entering Kansafra though, the roaches started bombing with drones and artillery whilst their proxy jihadists started their counter-offensive.
SAA, being completely unprepared to fight jihadis with air cover quickly retreated to the current frontline and the rest is history.
>Pt.2 Jabal ArbeenWhat was supposed to happen on Jabal Zawiya is fairly obvious, SAA would capture the mountain and the jihadis would subsequently retreat from the part of the Ghab plain which would now be under fire control (just like they did when SAA captured Jabal Shashbo), probably only remaining in the villages around the M-4 highway.
For now, SAA would not advance in the Ghab plain further than the villages in the immediate vicinity of Jabal Zawiya.
The advance would continue toward al-Bara, which has been kotel'd by now. Once al-Bara was seized, the advance would continue up the Arbeen mountain, step by step squeezing the jihadists out of the villages east of it and reaching the M-4 highway southwest of Ariha.
>Pt.3 Ariha.Arbeen mountain and Ariha would be tricky, and the jihadi counteroffensive on Nayrab and Saraqib supported by the roaches made the whole thing basically impossible to execute. The plan was to surround Ariha from west, east and south.
It's hard to say what will happen on the Saraqib axis if the offensive does happen, SAA has to hold Nayrab and possibly even Mastoumah in order to secure the M-4 to Ariha.
The roaches obviously didn't and still doesn't want SAA getting so close to Idlib city, so SAA might have to compromise and stay south of the M-4 between Saraqib and Ariha.
Hard to say what will happen really, if Russia has coordinated with the roaches to surrender the M-4 in return for sparing Idlib city then SAA will capture Ariha and secure a buffer zone similar to the 2015 buffer zone (
>>310243 ) before descending Jabal Zawiya to the west with Jisr al-Shughur in their crosshairs. I'll make some more spergshit like this detailing Jisr al-Shughur and the Latakia/Kabani hellzone when i feel like it or the offensive kicks off for real (SAA has never had real control of the mountainous area directly west of Jisr al-Shughur, making it hard to predict).

>>310299I was waiting for this concession for so long that I started to believe it would never happen.
>>>310355>Its really hard to see how they will do it while splitting their focus with other areas as they did in the last 10 attemptsTo be fair, they made huge gains in the late 2015 to early 2016 offensive (pic related) whilst launching several succesful offensives on other fronts.
I can see only two ways to tackle this front, either they man the fuck up and brute force storm it, or (most likely) capture Jisr al-Shughur from the south/east and make their way up the mountain along the M-4 forcing the jihadis to retreat or get encircled.

Afghan Shitmupdate & Districtmupdate
Corrections: Corrected Barfak in Baghlan, Khwaja Ghar in Takhar, Khost Wa Fereng in Baghlan.
Gains: Taliban take over Bangi, Baharak, Chal, Namak Ab, and Hazar Sumuch in Takhar; Dushi DHQ and Baghlan City, and cut the Kabul-Puli Khumri road in Baghlan; Mardyan in Jowzjan; a base to the south of Mughul to the east of Saripul and cut the road between Saripul and Sheberghan; Establish firm control between Pashtun Zarghun and Chisthi Sharif in eastern Herat, and likewise between Islam Qala and Zindajan to the west, minus the DHQs, and also take over Gulran to the NW; In Farah, they took over Qala i Kah (Pusht Koh) District; Grishk District in Helmand; Laja Mangal and Mirzaka DHQs in Paktia; Besiege Badpash in Laghman; Shirin Tagab and Khwaja Sabz Posh (Juma Bazaar) Districts in Faryab, and establish a strong presence to the immediate northeast of Maymana; Dara-i Suf in Samangan.
ANA did a little counterattack to retake Pato DHQ in Daykundi, and retook Khan Abad in Kunduz.
>>310787Pretty much. Though after they retake power and exert control over ALL of Afghanistan (first time any faction ruled 100% of Afghanistan since 1979), expect them to get assistance from neighboring countries at some point in the future, especially for rebuilding. International trade will become very interested in making Afghanistan a trade crossroads, especially since Afghanistan has 7 trillion dollars' worth of mineral resources in the northeast, that has been largely untapped. Too lucrative to pass up, especially if Afghanistan actually stabilizes for once in 40 years. Plus it sits as a physical crossroads between West Asia and East Asia, South Asia and North (and Central) Asia. All this won't happen overnight of course, or even within a few years. Give it about a decade and you may see this unfold.
As for Taliban governance, expect a return to the 1996-2001 period but not as repressive.

>>311365The burgers are very aware that the taliban will recapture most if not all of Afghanistan when they leave, "re-conquering" what has been lost after leaving would be an inconceivably retarded waste of resources.
Also, there's no oil in Afghanistan.
If there are rumors of talk between k*rds and Damascus in the near future, i won't drop my jaw if the burgers leave Syria shortly after.
Repeating the Iraqi K*rdistan scenario won't be possible because of the roaches' not-so-diplomatic policy towards syrian and leftoid k*rds.
I reckon the burger mission of being a thorn in the side of Russian and Iranian interests in Syria isn't having the desired effect when factoring in the price they're paying to keep it up. Atop of t*rkish policy dividing the k*rds (coercing Barzanistan to allow t*rkish crackdown against PKK in Iraq etc), Iran could easily up the ante with their proxies in Iraq making the logistics of keeping SDF alive even more of a nightmare.
That should leave al-Tanf, with Iran having easier access to the Syria-Iraq border from the Euphrates to the northen point of Nineveh, the value of blocking the Baghdad - Damascus highway would depreciate drastically.
Funnily enough, Jordan received Syrian diplomats recently...

The gov't clearly controls Nawur since they wouldn't retreat to an enemy-controlled district. Furthermore, both Nawur and Ajristan are Hazara-majority areas, so I'm inclined to mark Ajristan as gov't-controlled unless clearly proven otherwise.

>>311351>They now control a third of the countryThat's a very low estimate tbh. Try 55% as an absolute minimum, and 70% as an absolute maximum.
Also what that article doesn't mention is that the Taliban are capturing district after district because the gov't forces in the north and partly in the south are surrendering them without a fight, which smells of a high-level deal made with the Taliban.

Considering how easily SAA and friends could've captured Darat Izza and the Sheikh Barakat mountain during the last offensive (only held back by Russian orders) and what a massive damage losing that mountain would do to T*rkeys little Ottoman larp, i reckon threatening to advance here could be a good persuader for surrendering the M-4 highway.

>British special forces on hunt for drone killersA 40-strong team of SAS soldiers arrived in eastern Yemen yesterday.
Landing at Al Ghaydah airport in Mahra, they are said to be using local handlers, subsidised by the Foreign Office, who have knowledge of the region to help hunt the Houthi mercenaries responsible. The team also includes a specialist electronic warfare unit which can deploy resources to hoover up communications chatter.
It is feared Tehran supplied the militants with the long-range unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), to threaten international merchant vessels in some of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.
US-Israeli intelligence believe the drone was launched from eastern Yemen and directed by GPS towards the tanker before an operator took control for the final mile, directing the rocket via camera into the ship’s bridge.
The SAS team is operating with a US special operations force which was already in the region and helping to train an elite Saudi commando unit. The UK, US and Israel have condemned Iran for the attack on MV Mercer Street, though the Islamic regime denies involvement. Operated by London-based Zodiac Maritime, part of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer’s Zodiac Group, the vessel was heading from Tanzania to United Arab Emirates.
The UK mission will send a clear message to Iran that the UK will not tolerate such attacks in international waters.
And Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, who said he was in constant contact with British counterpart Dominic Raab, said he “noted to him the need to respond severely”.
A senior UK military source said last night: “Everything points to the drone being launched from Yemen. The concern now is that an extended range drone will give them a new capability.”
Ebrahim Raisi, dubbed the “butcher of Tehran” for his role in the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in 1988, was sworn in as the Islamic regime’s eighth president on Thursday.

>U.S. Embassy staff rushed to Kabul airport as Taliban close inSome of the staff members have already arrived at the airport protected by U.S. troops ahead of a likely onslaught by the militants who have swept across the country in recent days.
Staff at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul are being swiftly evacuated to the international airport as the Taliban close in on the capital city, one person familiar with the situation told POLITICO.
Some of the staff members have already arrived at the airport, this person said, protected by U.S. troops ahead of a likely onslaught by the militants who have swept across the country in recent days.
The State Department didn’t immediately return a request for comment. CBS News first reported on the evacuation.
The movement comes as the last of the 3,000 American troops rushed to the city are arriving at the airport to help with the departure of American citizens, as the Taliban have pushed within 10 miles of the capital.
Saturday continued the string of losses for the Kabul government, with Logar province south of Kabul, and Mazar-e-Sharif in the north, falling to the Taliban. American military officials in Kabul are still advising their Afghan counterparts how to construct a defense of the capital city, a sprawling, four-million-person oasis of government control that has become increasingly isolated.
"The situation has all the hallmarks of a humanitarian catastrophe," the World Food Programme's Tomson Phiri said at a U.N. briefing on Friday.
The administration is still struggling to find temporary refuge for Afghans seeking special visas to the United States. U.S. officials have been urging Kosovo and Albania to take the applicants after similar efforts with Central Asian and other countries failed.
Michael Patrick Mulroy, a top Middle East official at the Pentagon during the Trump administration, said this kind of evacuation was always likely. “We were headed in this direction after they sent 3,000 troops and ordered the destruction of embassy documents,” he told POLITICO.
U.S. envoy Zalmay Khalilzad spent Saturday meeting with Taliban representatives in Doha, but no agreement has been reached to stop the fighting. It remains to be seen whether the government intends to dig in and defend Kabul or negotiate its surrender.
The fall of Mazar-e-Sharif, the country’s fourth-largest city, follows the losses of Ghazni and Herat on Friday, the country’s second- and third-largest population centers, leaving Kabul alone among the major urban hubs. Although thousands of Afghan troops have consolidated there, there is no indication that those units will fare much better than any of the other Afghan army units in recent weeks.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were briefed Saturday morning by their top civilian and military advisers on the drawdown in Afghanistan and efforts to “evacuate [special immigrant visa] applicants, and monitor the evolving security situation,” a White House official said.

Afghan Shitmupdate & Districtmupdate
Corrected Kandahar Airport for being under ANA control, corrected Paghman in Kabul.
Taliban clear out the rest of Faryab, Paktia, Paktikia, and Badakhshan. They also seize the entire province of Daykundi after reaching deals with local Hazara leaders there.
Taliban seize Mihtarlam in Laghman. In the north, Mazar-i Sharif came under Taliban control as Dostum and Noor flee to Uzbekistan; Khinjan and Dushi came back under Taliban control as well. Taliban also cleared Kunar of ANDSF presence (IS-K is still around) and blitzed down to Jalalabad which will surrender tomorrow.
Finally in Kabul, the Taliban began closing in on Paghman as they establish a siege ring around the city.

>Biden Sends 1,000 Emergency Evacuation Troops to Kabul as Intel Agencies Now Say Afghan Capital Will Fall Within 72 Hours>In July, Biden said Kabul would never fall. Four days ago Biden said it would take more than 90 days for Taliban to reach Kabul, if at all. Today, Biden sends 1,000 more additional troops to Kabul as it is expected to fall within 72 hrs. That is correct. By Monday the Taliban could control all of Afghanistan.>The AP is reporting that emergency evacuations have sped up the timeline to avoid the most embarrassing optics for the Biden administration. An additional 1,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne are en-route to support the previously announced 3,000 U.S. troops handling the evacuation. That is a total of 4,000 new military troops sent to Kabul to support the previous 1,000. Keep in mind the original Afghan withdrawal was 2,500 troops in total.https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/08/14/biden-sends-1000-emergency-evacuation-troops-to-kabul-as-intel-agencies-now-say-afghan-capital-will-fall-within-72-hours/
>Taliban Seen Flying Captured Military Helicopters Over Afghanistan>Multiple videos out of Afghanistan circulated widely on Saturday show an unusual and true first: the Taliban have "have operationalized at least two helicopters captured in Herat," according to a regional correspondent on the ground. An analyst at the D.C.-based Middle East Institute (MEI) writes "After capturing several helicopters in Kandahar, a Taliban trained pilot reportedly flew an Mi-17 chopper earlier today, right around the city." It's confirmed: the bearded Islamists rapidly overrunning cities while US forces are in retreat now literally have airpower, apparently.https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/taliban-seen-flying-captured-military-helicopters-over-afghanistanhttps://twitter.com/BhittaniKhannnn/status/1426566963548106752 [Embed]https://twitter.com/ragipsoylu/status/1426574626742751234 [Embed]https://twitter.com/Ozkok_A/status/1426579050814902282 [Embed]https://twitter.com/John_Hudson/status/1426593965881573378 [Embed]

Kabul is actually the Afghan Sodom and Gomorrah, tainted with incredible amounts of western degeneracy and evil, even more yet, the city is an actual deadly cauldron with plenty of enemies and traitors to slay and unable to escape. And the Taliban will stand down and make room for them to flee?
WTF is going on?

All states involved have their own core interests to protect and where some of them converge in other areas they will diverge. And its these divergences where things can go terribly wrong and can/will be exploited by the US and allied states. If not for the two big players, it most certainly can for the other 3.

As of August 15, 2021, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has been proclaimed and the Taliban are in control of Kabul save for the airport. Only scattered pockets of resistance remain throughout the country, namely Panjshir and southern Baghlan, and they are expected to surrender in the coming days and weeks.

can someone redpill me on taliban?
how are they different from al qaeda and ISIS?
>>316481ISKP (Islamic State Khorasan Province) and Taliban are enemies, the former having a decent number of Taliban defectors. A while ago the US was tacitly supporting the Taliban by bombing ISKP while they were fighting. As of late ISKP has been fighting Taliban more than the government due to the offensives, you can find their claimed attacks by searching on Twitter. Most likely the ISKP will step up their attacks now that the country has just fallen in a matter of weeks in a mostly peaceful manner.
As for Al-Qaeda, the Taliban has sheltered them up to this day.
You didn't mention TTP but they're an important group in this context. They're also pretty close to Taliban and have overlapping fighters and have had much of their prisoners released by Taliban taking over prisons, likely contributing to the recent surge in TTP activity back in Pakistan.

>>316391Mostly correct but obviously biased analysis.
Hopeless area not worth wasting brain cells on.
>>316494Somewhat but there are more differences than similarities IMO. For example ISIS would never do something like the Doha Accords or consciously limit their territorial aims stretching from west Africa to Afghanistan. They're even setting up an branch in Iran (IS Fars province) soon from their base in Afghanistan. The Taliban has actively tried to present themselves as a competent government that can provide stability domestically and internationally and is willing to reconcile with opposition-see the mass surrenders without as much as a shot fired.
On the other hand they both want an Islamic state based on sharia and it remains to be seen how the Taliban will govern this time around-people talk about how brutal the IEA's rule was and they're not exaggerating.
>>316517To add on, back in 2014 ISIS had a somewhat similar strategy in western Iraq where politicians had Iraqi troops leave and then let ISIS come in. The major difference is that the Taliban were negotiating the surrender of their opponents like Ismail Khan.

>>316459America's now the laughingstock, fewer people are going to take our military strength as serious, and our politics are even worse, and the economy is going to shit itself again. We're headed towards Soviet-tier collapse, fast.
As for the region? Well Afghanistan is going to rebuild with Chinese help, and trade is going to surge especially when Afghanistan taps into that $7 trillion in mineral resources up in the northeast. Plus the location as a trade crossroads.
But for Pakistan and India? The focus is going to be on Kashmir now once Pakistan gets itself into a better position. Pakistan has already been helping the rebels and insurgents there going back decades, but with Afghanistan wrapped up to Pakistan's liking the Kashmir conflict can now take center stage. I expect Kashmir to dominate politics in 2022 for the region.
>>316517>people talk about how brutal the IEA's rule was and they're not exaggerating.yeah these poor basha bazi enablers
truly how awful will their suffering be under a government that doesn't agree with the very progressive agenda of child raping and children sexualization like the west
>>316604it's spelled bacha bazi.
if you think Afghanistan's issues can be reduced to tiktoks of twerking kids in urban America, get a grip. Read Taliban : the power of militant Islam in Afghanistan and beyond by Ahmed Rashid to see what concerns people have with the Taliban returning to power.
https://1lib.us/book/5296938/a2331fHazaras for example were massacred in Mazar because of their ethnicity; this discrimination stretches back over a country. One form of this is where Taliban and other groups kidnap and ransom Hazaras on highways or just kill them. Over the past month in Malestan more than 70 Hazaras have been killed and families displaced. People have very valid fears and dismissing them as molesters is just silly.
>>316603That was precisely the plan: the Jew-SA becomes a pigshit bootlicking commodity which kikes can trade to anyone (even their own "enemies").
Also, try more like 50 trillion. Seriously, the amount of raw deep minerals Afghanistan has is beyond comprehension. I don't just mean lithium and rare earth metals either, there is far more mineral wealth buried deep under Afghanistan soil than the entirety of the former USSR and the chinks combined.
As for India, they're on the verge of being 100% cucked especially after that last oil 'deal' with the chinks that was organized by Jewros.

>>316613The purpose of a transliteration is to serve as a pronunciation aid for text originally written in another script.
In this case the چ in بچه بازی would be best transliterated as /ch/. The relevant word بچه is usually translated as bacheh but colloquially is bacha in Afghanistan.
> i'm not wasting my time with someone spewing such blatant propagandaAliens must have come into Mazar disguised as Taliban, massacred Hazaras and Tajiks, and left on their spaceships to leave the Taliban to be blamed. Apparently a massacre in the long history of targeted Taliban violence towards Hazaras is just anti Taliban propaganda and thousands of testimonies were just made up.
> i bet you also believe taliban blew up the buddha just because it was hinduThe statues were of Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism and his justification was deeply hypocritical. It took several weeks of intensive work to destroy the statues instead of and the Taliban heavily obstructed humanitarian aid including in Bamiyan and surrounding provinces where one million went hungry. Eventually UN agencies left Afghanistan in the face of deepening food shortages and humanitarian crisis.
> I did not want to destroy the Bamiyan Buddha. In fact, some foreigners came to me and said they would like to conduct the repair work of the Bamiyan Buddha that had been slightly damaged due to rains. This shocked me. I thought, these callous people have no regard for thousands of living human beings -- the Afghans who are dying of hunger, but they are so concerned about non-living objects like the Buddha. This was extremely deplorable. That is why I ordered its destruction. Had they come for humanitarian work, I would have never ordered the Buddha's destruction.
>>316621I think you're right.
The Afghanistan oil pipeline, or AOP for short, leads straight to Israel, and supplies the Israeli army with all their oil (because they are America's ally). The Taliban don't like America or Israel, so they did say they'll blow it up when they take power. So yes, that was a smart and correct post, from you.

For 20 years Afghans have had better healthcare, more prosperity, their girls have received educations, and they've had the chance to travel around the world. And, while those days may be coming to a close with the return of the Taliban, that does not detract from the fact that they enjoyed twenty years of a better life.

After a slight kerfuffle involving SAA 4th armored division launching Golan rockets into Daraa al-Balad the "reconciled" militants agreed to become reconciled again and hand over their small arms or take the green bus today.
The situation in Daraa governorate is too damn tiresome to report on, but by the looks of it Daraa al-Balad should finally be firmly in the hands of SAA from now on.

Afghan Shitmupdate & Districtmupdate
Per preliminary reports, it seems the Taliban have taken over Panjshir valley and forced the resistance into hiding in the mountains like they did to Alipour in Wardak. But if true, for all intents and purposes, **the Taliban control the entirety of Afghanistan for the first time ever.**
Last two pics are just in case these are our final Afghan Mupdates for a long time.

Well this was unexpected, the houthis just made a huge advance in Bayda governorate capturing the district center of al Sawma'ah and supposedly 200 square kilomemes.
Sawma'ah district was a AQAP/IS stronghold, where did they go?

>>319735Maswarah District also captured, the tribes switched sides and kicked out the Saudi mercenaries.
Arrows between Nati and Sawma'ah illustrates the rough road through Maswarah and the black arrows illustrate the equally rough roads to Hadi territory.
Unconfirmed report says Beihan has been captured aswell, (x) on that for now though.
>>319812I'm guessing the valley with the main road to Beihan (from Bayda governorate via Na'man District) is more heavily defended and thus they intend to knock on the backdoor of the town via this valley instead.

Here's a simple snusmap showing all the driveable routes to minimize confusion.
Aqabat Merkhah is in the red square, "and beyond" is too vague to speculate about, we'll see in the future. I doubt the houthis can make it through Wadi Merkhah without support from the tribes, there's seems to be some weird ass diplomacy going on behind closed doors with tribes UAE backs or has backed before.

Are the Saudi mercenaries temporarily stalling houthi progress to evacuate Abdiyah or are they seriously trying to stop the routing here?
My money is on stalling, even if they miraculously manage to hold the town, the supply route to Abdiyah will be impossible to defend.
Then again, where else on the southern Marib front would the mercenaries even try to make a cohesive defensive line?
The mountain chain between Harib and Al-Jubah doesn't look easy to protect and Wadi Jubah looks like a favorable battlefield for the houthis. If they can't hold Jubah, Jabal Murad gets encircled.
Jabal al-Balaq is obviously the last resort, but maybe it all doesn't matter now that the houthis could theoretically threaten the Saudi-Marib road via the oil field filled desert...
Man, what a day...
Yemen Shitmupdate
Houthis gain several districts in Shabwa Province without a fight, flanking Marib from the south.
Various changes throughout the south as well.
>>320313A minor (and probably outdated by tommorrow lel) fix in Harib district, the town is reportedly contested and Abdiyah is not under siege yet.
Throwback to 2017 before the houthis were pushed out of damn near the exact same area they captured today.
The houthis are reportedly in control of Jabal Mala and are knocking on Umm Rish and Al Khushayn military camps in Jubah district.
https://twitter.com/MohamadAlmorady/status/1440650602522890248 [Embed]Saying the houthis control the mountain is misleading though, besides the immediate vicinity of the mountain pass road there are no military positions over there. Oh well, Jubah S O O N.
Houthis won't enter Abdiyah district militarily, expecting the locals to hand over non-local mercenaries and stop fighting them from the besieged area.
Negotiations with the tribes of Jubah and Jabal Murad ongoing and the houthis are reportedly gearing up to enter Jubah from both Harib and Rahabah districts on similar terms (military reporter in pic rel is in eastern Rahabah district on the Jubah border).
Frontline might end up being Jabal al-Balaq before long boyos.
