More on the Soddy southern retreat in Yemen
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Summary of the Soddy retreat south by Boris Rozhin.

[ColonelCassad] The Iranian press publishes details of the disaster near Hodeidah, as a result of which the troops of the Saudi coalition abandoned all the conquests of 2018 and fled to the south. As it turned out, what happened is the result of separate agreements between the emirates and the UN.
It would be interesting to compare the Iran-oriented view of events with a Sunni -oriented view.
1. The withdrawal of troops took place without any agreement with the Hadists,
Who are the Hadists?
Just another name for Muslims, taken from the Arabic word Haditha.
who were simply presented with a fact. According to the speakers of the Hadists sitting in Saudi Arabia, what is happening under Hodeidah is happening without any coordination with the Hadists and without their knowledge.

2. On Thursday, November 11, 4 brigades: the 1st, 5th and 6th Giants + 21st Infantry Brigade, moved south from the front. The main force abandoned the front and drove off south to Mokha, 163 kilometers south. Already on November 12, Tuheit fell, from where the Giants had been dumped a few hours earlier.

3. The bulk of the fleeing forces did not report directly to the government of Hadi, but closed themselves on Tarek Saleh (the son of the assassinated ex-President of Yemen) and the Emiratis. Giants Brigade officers said they received direct orders from the Joint Operations Room, which is run by UAE officers.

4. The withdrawal of troops was preceded by separate negotiations in Mokh, where UN Special Envoy Hans Grudberg met with Tarek Saleh, where they discussed the creation of a "security zone" and the actual surrender of many key points to the Houthis, including kilometer 16 (de facto, this unblocked the Sanaa Hodeida highway).

The agreement provided for the complete withdrawal of the army and other power structures from the coastal areas and suburbs of Hodeidah. All of this was to serve as a "green space".

5. Since some units refused to retreat, they were directly threatened with UAE Air Force airstrikes if they did not obey orders and began to retreat to Mokha.

6. But already in the process of retreating, the opposite order came to return to the positions at kilo 16, which had already been occupied by the Houthis. Naturally, this did not work out and the retreat continued. The Giants' soldier who gave the interview called the incident "Treason".

In fact, the UAE, for the sake of realizing its goals, surrendered the territory controlled by the Hadi government to the Houthis. Once again, the poorly concealed contradictions between the UAE and Saudi Arabia have surfaced, further undermining the Saudi coalition.

PS. Today, the Houthi advance to the south continued and they occupied several more cities and towns south of Hodeidah without any serious resistance.

The Houthi command calls on mercenaries in the service of the Emirates and Saudis to abandon their weapons or side with the Houthis, since from the point of view of "Ansar Allah" the outcome of the war is obvious and the interventionists will be forced to flee from Yemen after Marib is taken. The Hodeidah disaster is being viewed as a trailer for the upcoming Yemeni drap.
