On the ninth day of the Arab offensive by Ryad, many supporters of former President Saleh ally of the Shiite Houthi rebels demonstrated to denounce the intervention of Saudi Arabia. According to the UN, the fighting is over 500 dead.

The chaotic situation between Sunnis and Shiites has allowed AQAP, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, to make a show of force. The most dangerous branch of the Islamist network was able to easily seize the port Moukalla, the headquarters of the army.


Meanwhile, supporters of President Hadi Saudi exile received weapons and gained ground on Houthi rebels and their allies in a part of Aden, southern great strategic port.
