The map shows a military situation in Yemen on January 19, 2017. The area of the city of Taiz remains the main hot point in the country.
Saudi-backed forces of the Hadi regime are making attempts to advance against the Houthi-Saleh alliance from the southern countryside of Taiz. However, a low morale and the Saudi military’s inability to force their ‘local allies’ to participate in a major-scale face-to-face battle against Houthi-Saleh fighters prevent the Saudi-led coalitino from making gains in the area.
