Yemeni commander says battles in Sanaa district ‘will end the coup’
2017-11-20
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Yemeni legitimate forces advanced towards the Arhab District - in the capital Sanaa - after they tightened control over almost 90 percent of the Nihm district, an Al Arabiya correspondent reported.

Sheikh Mansour al-Hanq, head of the Sanaa resistance, told Al Arabiya and Al Hadath television channels that battles in the Arhab district are "decisive and will end the coup."

Addressing Yemeni citizens who were misled and forced to fight alongside the rebels, Hanq said: "The national army and resistance will do nothing but good deeds, and they will only pursue those who staged the coup."

The forces advanced with the support of the Saudi-led coalition’s air cover and the coalition’s and national army’s artillery shelling.

Meanwhile,
...back at the revival hall, the pastor had finally been wrestled from the pulpit.
Y'got the wrong guy! he yelled just before Sergeant Malone's billy club landed...

Yemeni sources said Houthi
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ...
militias kidnapped around 12 civilians from Arhab and blew up three houses.

They also said that the Houthis attacked several towns in Arhab, such as al-Arshan and al-Ghoula, and raided houses, adding that the militias’ armored vehicles deployed there as well.
