NEW BRIEFING NOTE FROM CRISIS GROUP

Crisis Group Yemen Update #10

Fighting between Huthi (Ansar Allah) and United Arab Emirates (UAE)-backed forces is intensifying in the southern governorate of al-Dhale.

Battles have cut off key transit routes connecting the southern port city of Aden, the Huthi-held capital of Sanaa in the north, and the central governorate of Taiz, which houses important food processing, packaging and distribution facilities.

If allowed to continue, the fighting could significantly deepen the country’s economic woes and further complicate efforts to revive a national peace process.
