Good post. They are on the good side I think as allied with Iran and Hezbollah rather than IS.http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=865_1448729074
Good not to forget that neck of the woods whilst we get distracted with other places.
a real bizarre war, the Saudi's should of had this nipped in the bud ages ago yet seem to have made a real mess of this and for quite a while the Houthis have had the upper hand and have now crossed the border and taken over an army base
Be interested to know how they have been able to get supplies of weapons etc seeing as the Saudi's bombed the airports and any Iranian ship that came too close, infact any boat they don't like the look of
Overall picture of the Middle East is pretty grim at the moment, and SA was supposed to be untouchable

Last month, the Yemeni Army’s Republican Guard and their popular committees – led by the Houthis – shocked the region after capturing the strategic city of Rabouah; this strategic city was also located in southern Saudi Arabia, creating panic amongst the Saudi-led Coalition Forces that were combatting the Republican Guard and Houthis for several months prior to this demoralizing defeat.
One month later, the Saudi-led Coalition Forces have been paralyzed in southern Saudi Arabia, as the Yemeni Republican Guard and the Houthis pushed their way into another Saudi border city after combatting the pro-Hadi forces for several months inside the Jizan Region.
On Saturday morning in southern Saudi Arabia, the Yemeni Republican Guard and the Houthis overran the Saudi-led Coalition Forces at the city of Najran, killing several of their fighters and seizing their military equipment before imposing full control over the Saudi Army post in the southeastern countryside of this city.
The loss of Rabouah inside Saudi Arabia last month resulted in the Saudi-led Coalition Forces having their primary supply route cutoff by the Yemeni Republican Guard and the Houthis; if they lose Najran, they will lose another border-crossing to the enemy forces, despite having the superior weapons and air support.

British Army Officer And An Australian Among 15 Killed in Yemen Fighting Houthi Resistance
The men have been named by local media as Colonel Arthur Kingston and Australian Phillip Streetman. They are believed to have died in Taiz.
Fars news agency claimed that the UAE has pulled out its own troops and replaced them with 450 mercenaries from Latin America.
..
up to 1,500 Latin American freebooters employed by the notorious Blackwater private military firm, now known as Academi, are fighting in the pay of Saudi Arabia against the Shia rebels known at Houthis.
Reports of Colombians operating in the area date as far back as late November when the New York Times (NYT) reported the Sunni Gulf States, some of which are locked into a proxy war with Shia Iran, are using South American’s to fight the vicious civil war in Yemen.

The Saudis have killed over 1000 civilians in this conflict by bombing hospitals, schools and factories (many of the bombs are British made). Yet near silence from our political masters about this. Yet when the butcher Assad bombs hospitals, schools, factories etc all hell breaks loose in Westminster. And then they wonder why the public are so skeptical when it comes to military intervention abroad in the name of 'human rights', 'democracy' etc.

Don't you know the difference they are not using barrel bombs. Obviously you are not paying attention the media should use the words barrel bombs more that 30 times an hour to get the message across that asads army are only allowed to use harsh language against Stone Age barbarians who want to slaughter them all.

Glad I am not the only despising the UK News outlet for having a big hard-on for the Saudis and their so-called progress. Pathetic! Total silence on the fact they have just bombed some schools in Yemen.BlackLabel said:

Don't forget with all the technology we have in the west, we're not exactly angels when it comes to 'collateral' damage!http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-eas...

Back to Yemen though. Obviously not enough British people involved for the BBC to mention.
