Yemen has now defogged the war. Ansarallah has released statements, videos, music videos, and named the battle, all of which we'll go over. The liberation of the full western coast has been named "Allah is Stronger in Might and More Severe in Punishment." This is a Quranic reference, and we'll start there, because it's the most important.

Etymology

The Quran says,

So fight for the cause of God. You are responsible only for yourself. Urge on the believers. God may fend off the power [violence] of those who deny the truth, for He is stronger in might and stronger in inflicting punishment. Whoever rallies to a good cause shall have a share in its blessing; and whoever rallies to an evil cause shall be answerable for his part in it: for, indeed, God watches over everything. (4:84)

Ansarallah means the helpers of God. They are the government of 80% of Yemenis, though the 'internationally recognized government' is run out of a hotel room in Riyadh. The White media brands Ansarallah as 'the Houthis' to compare them to their own pathetic proxy, the Saudi's but they could not be more different. Yemen just happens to led by someone named al Houthi, while Saudi Arabia is led by the House of Saud in name only. Saudi Arabia is just an outpost of White Empire, while Yemen under Ansarallah has actually freed over 30% of Yemen, and is freeing more as we talk.

Saudi Arabia is acting like many White proxies from Ukraine to 'Israel'. Suicidally lashing out at its neighbors because they are already dead inside. Saudi is there to pump oil and dump weapons. They create artificial demand for USD and perpetrate atrocities. Saudi Arabia was given the imperial franchise for genocide on Yemen, along with the UAE, and they've been starving, bombing, and losing to men in the field since 2014. To me, it's all World War III and the Saudis are about as relevant (and useful) as the Romanians were to the Germans. Not very useful, but still quite capable of genociding.

Ansarallah's leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi put it best when he described the Saudis as a milking cow whose udders hurt from getting milked so much.

He references the cow of Al Haloub, which I thought was something Quranic, but no, it's a brand of ghee. A tub of oil, to be discarded, as the Americans are doing with their carbon colony. Attacking Yemen makes no sense when Yemen can destroy all of Saudi Arabia's wealth unless, of course, Saudi Arabia is not a real country and is just a distant outpost of White Empire that they consider expendable. Which is the case.

So it goes for those that take protectors other than God. As Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah referenced re: 'Israel', the Quran says, "Those who take protectors other than God can be compared to the spider which builds itself a cobweb, but the frailest of all structures is the house of the spider, if they but knew it." Or as the western saying goes, those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, especially if there's hypersonic missiles and drones coming back at you.

The Quran has fairly stern advice on this very situation, which Ansarallah is referencing and is, in many ways, is a reference to. Allah said, via his Messenger,

Warn the hypocrites that for them there is a painful punishment. As for those who take the deniers of the truth for their allies rather than the believers – do they seek honor in their company? Surely all honor belongs to God...

The hypocrites seek to outwit God – but it is He who outwits them. And when they stand up for prayer, they do so reluctantly and to be seen by others, and they hardly remember God at all. They vacillate between the two, belonging neither to the one side nor the other. But for him whom God allows to go astray you can never find the way for him. Do not take deniers of the truth [who are at war with you[ for your allies in preference to believers. Would you give God a clear proof against yourselves? The hypocrites shall surely be in the lowest depth of the Fire; and you will find no helper [ansar] for them. (4:139-145)

al-Houthi references, indirectly, the King of Saudi Arabia who cannot stand to pray but nonetheless stands to dance for his White masters. And who are these masters? Just look at the bastards,

Could they be a clearer sign than the Secretary of War, with the word kafir newly [2024] tattooed on his arm? Kafir "refers to someone who knowingly denies or conceals fundamental divine truths," according to Nihad Awad of CAIR. The signs are really a bit on the nose here, but still the Saudi milch cow dutifully moos. Those who take protectors other than Allah have no protection at all, and if you don't take God's word for it, then the Saudis certainly should. You can't say they weren't warned.

This is the clear Quran that Ansarallah is appealing to both in order to rally their cause and to break the will of the mercenary forces, who are Muslim and should know better than to side with crusaders and Jews. The whole world has seen the suffering and resistance of Palestine for years now and seen Yemen help them and the Quran speaks on this very situation much better than the news. As it says in (4:74),

Let those who would exchange the life of this world for the Hereafter, fight for the cause of God; a whoever fights for the cause of God, whether he is slain or is victorious, to him We shall give a great reward. And how should you not fight for the cause of God, and for the helpless old men, women, and children who say, ‘Deliver us, Lord, from this city of wrongdoers, grant us a protector out of Your grace and grant us a supporter out of Your grace?’ The believers fight for the cause of God, while those who reject faith fight for Satan. Then fight the allies of Satan: Satan’s scheming is truly weak.

Battleology

Now let's get to the Battle for West Yemen, one of the shortest battles in World War III, but one of the most historically and symbolically important. This is the first time in centuries that the waterways of this region are free. If you just want the highlights as an music video, here's that.

Yemen has also released a 40 minute video of the various battles on their excellent website, mmy.ye. You can watch it in full resolution there, here it is compressed mercilessly.

Here are some highlights in text (via RNN),

00:09 – 01:27 - Ansarallah fighters navigate the mountainous terrain of the Jebel Habashi district, positioning anti-armor teams, heavy machine guns, and drones.

01:28 – 03:57 - Fighters launch a coordinated multi-point ambush using RPGs, machine guns, and autocannons against retreating mercenary forces aligned with the Saudi-led coalition on the Al-Wazi'iyah supply route, destroying multiple vehicles and leaving dozens killed and captured.

03:58 – 08:34 - Fighters storm fortified command posts inside Khalid bin al-Walid School in Afirah using small arms, sniper rifles, and machine gun fire, capturing ammunition, communications gear, anti-drone technology, and prisoners.

08:35 – 11:10 - A precise ambush on a fleeing enemy convoy using ZU-23 autocannons and heavy machine gun fire. The vehicles are pulverized and burning out entirely.

11:11 – 18:38 - Fighters secure the wreckage zone. Inspection of the neutralized enemy vehicles, listing captured personnel, processing IDs, and gathering scattered equipment and personal belongings.

18:39 – 21:11 - Mass gathering of captured mercenaries sitting roadside while documenting their remaining gear

21:12 – 25:57 - Capturing and securing the main Jebel Tariq military camp, raiding the barracks and housing units, and taking inventory of intact armored vehicles, radar equipment, and military hardware left behind.

25:58 – 31:36 - Hunting down and destroying remaining fleeing technicals and pickup trucks attempting to escape using targeted heavy machine gun fire.

31:37 – 36:35 - Clearing out the primary command stronghold at the school in Afirah (Khalid bin Walid School), uncovering hidden ammo caches, sleeping quarters, gym equipment, and intelligence material.

36:36 – 39:22 - Fighters and commanders standing atop captured armored vehicles and fortified positions, delivering messages of victory, celebrating the total clearance of the sector, and concluding the operation.

To put some of these places in context, Al Jazeera admitted (from its HQ in a US military base), that,

This all started after a key strategic military base, Khalid bin Walid fell under the control of the Ansarallah Houthis and soon right after that the Yemeni government forces started withdrawing from areas leading to the port of Al-Mokha. This wasn't really much of a battle. Most of the battle was already done previous to the fall of Al-Mokha in places like Al-Wazi'iyah, the last stronghold that fell two days ago, that paved the way for them to enter the city of Al-Mokha without much resistance from the internationally recognized Yemeni government.

You can see the Al-Wazi-iyah and Khalid bin Walid referred to in the videos above, and the liberation of Al-Mokha below. Al-Mokha was where Saudi unloaded weapons for its mercenaries, and here you can see them literally blown out of the water. Now the Saudis have no way to resupply its mercenaries by sea in the Red Sea, and they couldn't pass the Bab el Mandeb already.

A few days ago I speculated on what was happening using maps, which you can read here, but as I said, Yemen is very communicative and their spokesman Yahya Saree released a full statement shortly afterwards.

The vital points are that Yemen targeted 38 Saudi Brigades (and effectively broke them as fighting units), shot down 9 Saudi planes, and liberated the whole west coast of Yemen (as currently constituted). In another communique, Saree mentioned that Yemen also targeted Saudi directly, specifically King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Musait. This and other bases (Taif) are where the F15s and Typhoons attacking Yemen took off from, and this Yemen is targeting. The Saudis, as White proxies, inherit their problems, which is that all of these bases are fundamentally indefensible against the superior rocketry of the Resistance.

Yemen is also targeting Saudi shipping and oil pipelines and refineries as part of its logic of a siege for a siege, a blockade for a blockade. One strike that Yemen did not claim is this, a fairly comprehensive attack on a pumping station on the east-west oil pipeline that Saudi was using to circumvent Hormuz. This pipeline had a capacity of 7 million barrels per day, and it is now completely shut down for 'repairs' they say. Just look at tell me how much repair this needs:

The Saudis have said that can repair this in three to five weeks, but what's to stop whoever from just blowing the pipeline up again? Ansarallah has not claimed this attack and the Saudis blamed it on Iraqi Resistance groups (who have denied it) but whoever did it, this vital infrastructure does not work. And that's not all, SOAR Atlas has shared images that show not one but three pumping stations damaged, all along the East-West pipeline.

This is why all the talk about circumventing Hormuz or the Bab el Mandeb is meaningless. It's all within missile range. The Empire has no place in the oil trade on the other side of the globe, and, as Iran has said, either everyone can sell oil or no one can. The Axis of Resistance has now completely decolonized the waterways for the first time since the 1500s, taking both Bab el Mandeb and the Strait of Hormuz. And any attempt to circumvent these waterways is in missile range too.

The War Goes On

The battle of "Allah is Stronger in Might and More Severe in Punishment" is over, but the war goes on. Fighting goes on in the east and there is no ceasefire to the north. We'll discuss, briefly, where it is and where it may go.
