The Saudi-backed mercenaries have been driven out western Yemen along the Red Sea coast. The Ansar-Allah now control the Bab al-Mandab Strait as well as all shipping traffic in the Red Sea. They have vowed to block Saudi tankers until the siege of Yemen is lifted.
With failure staring them in the face in their ill-conceived military campaign against Yemen, the Saudi regime has intensified attacks on civilians. Their latest outrage was committed on October 8 when more than 140 civilians were killed and some 525 injured in a missile strike on a gathering at a funeral ceremony. The Saudis have murdered more than 10,000 civilians in Yemen since March 2015. There are 22 million people facing starvation.
