Saudis have ended the air campaign. Looks like they realized that they can't win.

Looks like I was far too optimistic:

The Saudi National Guard has been authorized to use force in Yemen.

And the air campaign is continuing despite the announcement that they called it off. "No Russian troops in Crimea"**, right?

 

 

**I say that to mock something that's blatantly untrue, if anyone was wondering

Saudis must not give a shit about credibility...

Can you say "Gulf of Tonkin" in Arabic?

Despite a ceasefire put in place, but fighting keeps going on and off.

So the Houthis got pushed out of Aden and the Yemeni government/Gulf State coaltion have been driving the Houthis north.

This is the latest in a series of attacks on civilians ad on the border between Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

The Gulf/Yemeni coalition has gotten into more fights with al-Qaeda.
