On its anniversary, the General People’s Congress (GPC) in Sana’a faces an unprecedented Houthi militia crackdown, with funds seized, meetings forcibly broken up, and a death sentence looming over its vice president, Ahmed Ali Saleh.

The decision by Yemeni authorities in al-Mahra province to release tribal sheikh Mohammed bin Ahmed al-Zaidi, a key figure in the Houthis' expansion across Yemeni cities since the 2014 coup, has triggered widespread anger.

Internal divisions and regional rivalries within Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council are fueling a crisis that risks destabilizing the country’s political unity.

The Gulf Cooperation Council's support for parallel entities and the U.S. re-designating the Houthis as a terrorist group reflect growing regional influence and Yemen's political fragmentation.

Yemen’s al-Mahra province is witnessing rising tensions between political factions and Saudi-backed forces, alongside a growing U.S. military presence.
