> Yemen’s internationally recognised government has called for a general mobilisation against the Houthis and offered immediate amnesty to defecting fighters. The move aims to weaken the rebels, rebuild national unity and retake Sanaa. The Houthis’ recent gains in western Yemen have left the government in a much weaker position and drawn Saudi Arabia deeper into the conflict.
