ADEN, Yemen/DUBAI - With global attention on Yemen focused on a fragile truce in its main port of Hodeidah, fighting between rival forces in the country’s four-year war has surged elsewhere.
“The clashes taking place in al-Dhalea are less visible than those in along Yemen’s west coast but threaten to have a similarly disastrous impact,” said Suze van Meegen of the Norwegian Refugee Council. That deal averted an all-out assault on the port that risked unleashing famine but, while the fragile peace is largely holding, the troop pullback has stalled and thousands of tonnes of grain - inaccessible by aid agencies until Sunday - have started to rot.Al-Dhalea straddles the main roads between the government-controlled southern port of Aden, a major entry point for aid and commercial supplies, and the Houthi-controlled capital Sanaa.
Two weeks ago a bridge connecting al-Dhalea to neighboring Ibb was blown up, severing that route. Local reports blamed the incident on the Houthis after they stormed the area, though responsibility has not been confirmed. “ an active front line with people being displaced on a regular basis and with the expectation it will continue in that area,” McManus said.
Government coalition allies Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the United States and Britain last week repeated calls for the Houthis to redeploy from Hodeidah. They said they would be looking for the U.N. security council to review progress on May 15 “with the expectation that implementation will be under way at that point”.
