Yemen is the uncertainty around the fate of President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi. Some members of the presidential guard that he had fled abroad. Other sources in his entourage, ensure there is always somewhere in Aden, the city where he took refuge in late January, after being driven from the capital by the Houthi Shiite militiamen.
The head of state can still rely on a few loyal troops and tribes. But their resilience seems to falter facing the advance of Shiite militiamen.
As proof, the large air base of Al Anad, located sixty kilometers north of Aden. The site was previously held by supporters of the president. This base is now in the hands of Houthis.
Last weekend, the Shiite militia took control of the city of Taiz, despite .
The Houthis are supported by Iran, which worries the Arab countries of the region. Saudi Arabia has massed military equipment near its border with Yemen. Some point to a possible Saudi intervention to defend the President Hadi at the emergence of the rebels.
Others believe that this is primarily to prevent a spillover of the conflict into Saudi territory.
