Conflict Analysis in Taiz City

Based on the facts, I tell you, indeed I am certain,

that Sana'a forces can take control of Taiz within

hours on all fronts, Kilab,

Asayfirah, the eastern and western fronts alike.

But we face two fundamental dilemmas. The first dilemma is that

armed groups in Taiz are entrenched among civilians, indeed

they use them as cover. The second dilemma is bombing—

Saudi airstrikes inside the city.

Imagine with me a narrow city packed with people, unlike

Ma'rib, unlike Mokha, which are desert areas

not densely populated, where confrontations are easier.

But in Taiz, the situation is different. Today—

Before today, in 2015, the coalition struck Taiz's infrastructure

in general, even striking Taiz's heritage, striking

Cairo Castle. That is, we expect anything from the air force.

So if the Houthis take Taiz by force, which

they can do, there will be bloody massacres through Saudi

airstrikes. Today, based on the facts and through the offer, the Houthis

want Taiz to be handed over peacefully,

willingly.

He wants this without bloodshed, unlike the coalition.

The coalition wants to spill— Yemeni blood in every possible way.

And blame the Houthis and armed groups inside the city, who

make up only ten percent and do not care about the other 90 percent of citizens.

They can go to hell. The Houthis today are acting with

reason and do not want

massacres to occur in the city of Taiz, but

the armed groups are using civilians as cover

in the narrow streets. Meanwhile, they receive

strong support, and the ones paying the price are

the citizens of Taiz. Today, the burden— the responsibility lies with

you, and as you are, so shall your rulers be.
