Journalist Orla Guerin travelled through Yemen with forces loyal to the country’s internationally recognised government, reaching a remote desert battlefield recently taken back from Houthi rebels.
The journey involved Yemen’s southern national security forces, who escorted the team through the country towards the isolated area. The battlefield had been the scene of fighting between the government-aligned forces and the Houthis.
The visit took place only days after Houthi fighters were dislodged from the position, offering a view of an area affected by the continuing conflict in Yemen.
The report follows the forces’ movement through southern Yemen and documents the conditions around the remote battlefield. The supplied material does not provide further details about the fighting, casualties or the forces’ next operations.
