A state of alert prevailed in Al-Bayda Governorate in central Yemen, after its tribes issued calls for a general mobilization against the Houthi militias.

Sheikh Rami bin Yasser Al-Awadi, Sheikh of the Al-Awad family, sent a message to the people of Al-Bayda, in which he called on them to prepare and mobilize against the Houthis.

The Sheikh of Daman tribes of Al Ghunaim in Qayfa Al-Usla, Ibrahim Al-Jabri, also called on the people of Al-Bayda to unite ranks and mobilize to the battle fronts to confront the Houthi militias. He urged them to shoulder their historical responsibility to restore their land.

Al-Bayda Governorate is considered a geographical link and an important military balance due to its direct connection with several governorates such as Ma’rib, Shabwa, and Abyan.

These calls for mobilization came in conjunction with the announcement by the Ministry of Defense and the Chief of the Yemeni General Staff, yesterday, Saturday, of the start of practical measures to implement the decision on general mobilization and community mobilization, in implementation of the directives of the Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad Al-Alimi.

It also came amid continuing confrontations between Yemeni forces and the Houthis in Taiz and Lahj, southwest of Yemen, and Yemeni aircraft raids on Houthi positions in Sanaa.

During the past weeks, the map of control in Yemen has witnessed changes amid confrontations between government forces and the Houthis, after the militia advanced on the western coast and took control of the coastal city of Mokha and other strategic sites, including Mayon Island, located at the entrance to the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
