Yemen's Military Mobilization and Threats

You have 350,000 troops, I understand.

That's a lot of Houthi fighters. You're saying those 350-

Oh, no, no. This is, this is only, this is only the mobilization that was, uh,

announced in 2023.

So there's more?

They have recruited 300,000. Only, only that, uh, so during the

mobilization, they have recruited more than 300,000 new

fighters, but

the fighters that they have, or they have in, in the battlefield,

it could, it, it

could reach, uh, a million.

A million?

Yeah, yeah, they have. And they have a reserve.

It could exceed easily with the, with the mobilization and with, with w-

w- like in reserve or in active duty as well, uh, the mob-

mobilization

where they have trained hundred of thousand, I think it could exceed 1 mil-

uh, w-

uh, 15, like 1,500,000.

The number that's, uh, used right now internationally is

350,000 fighters. You're saying-

Yeah, yeah

... the, the expectation-

Yeah

... is to build that up to a million-man army,

and you're threatening that

that million-man army would then be used to actually invade Saudi

Arabia, uh, with ground troops.

And, and i- i- I think if, if the battle will come to, uh,

to go inside Saudi Arabia, it's not the army that will go.

I believe that every Yemeni, especially the tribal area in Saudi

Arabia, they have been, like, uh, treated badly and been bombed

badly by Saudi. They have, Saudi used hundred of thousand of cluster

bomb on that

area. They barely can farm, uh, the, the, the u-

Hmm

... and use their farm and use their area, so the, it's kind of revenge

Yemeni c- for Saudi Arabia. The Sana'a government could mobilize

million, even from the Yemenis, and we know everyone in Yemen have its own

gun,

and they know how to use it. So they will be well happy if the decision

will come to enter Saudi Arabia.
