Yemen government tries to retake Mocha and houthis attack Marib. Thousands displaced by the conflict

Público13 September 2026 at 19:30

The Government of Yemen is trying to retake the city of Mocha, located on the western coast of the country bathed by the Red Sea, where intense fighting is taking place with houthi forces. The houthis, for their part, are attacking the city of Marib, in the center of the country.

Government forces are supported by Saudi Arabia, while houthis maintain control of much of Yemeni territory. The conflict has already caused thousands of displaced, who flee the combat zones seeking safety.

The situation represents a threat to regional stability, particularly on the western coast of Yemen, where the dispute for territorial control has intensified. The Red Sea region is strategic for international maritime trade.

The Saudi pipeline in the region may become inoperational due to the conflict, which can cause an inflation in oil prices worldwide.

Why this matters

The conflict in Yemen directly affects regional stability and can have global economic repercussions, given that the Red Sea region is a crucial maritime route for oil trade. The thousands of displaced indicate a worsening humanitarian crisis.
