@Kowf: how reliable is abdual's substack? I'm going to say that he is really biased judging from what he put as his pfp Abo Yemen 16:32, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
yeah probably you write but he is a live journalist probalby based form his picture and you know that could just be his pfp but yeah stc completely eradicating APQA is a bit exgarted but i do believe that the houthi part may actually be correct plus it wouldnt realy be professional of a journalist to be so biased if he want to get the truth but what do i know i guess we have to wait for more info Kowf (talk) 16:41, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
well we aren't going to base our map on a single "reporter"'s reporting. We will have to see if any RS report the same thing that he reported Abo Yemen 16:47, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
yeah okay thats probably for the best i will see if i can get more sources Kowf (talk) 03:56, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
i will aslo get some sources form wiki news and i also would apperciate if you would help me Kowf (talk) 04:44, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I did search for sources but didn't find anything Abo Yemen 06:57, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
yeah same one my end yemen and ongoing conflicts are hard because of how rare sources are but there has to be something but insahallah we will find a way Kowf (talk) 15:46, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I usually follow Sanaa Center for updates on the war but seems like they didn't post anything on that Abo Yemen 17:51, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
yeah most of there stuff is belonging to civilian things but i thinks its because this the new year and no one has yet checked plus al Mudiyah is relatively small areas sure it has al Qaeda presence but i don't think it would be all that relevant plus it just seems like an normal city like i was thinking it would be like an openly jihadi city like APQA forces openly in the streets but no its like an normal city which let me partially believe that APQA forces are etheir really good at hiding or they are a rural force and they probably just stay in outskirts but its hard to say at the moment unless somebody takes the risk to go there but i dont think anyone will.

Ok so there are new updates on the conflict published by Sanaa Center: https://sanaacenter.org/the-yemen-review/jan-mar-2025/24567
The most significant thing in it is the Marib and West Coast situation and the Hadhramaut Tribal Alliance and Southern Transitional Council conflict 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 12:24, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@HetmanTheResearcher the map changed slightly too https://sanaacenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Yemen-Zones-of-Control_January-1-March-31_2025.png 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 12:29, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but I won't be updating the map further. The file should be available for anyone to edit through. If someone else wants to update it they can, I will not object. HetmanTheResearcher (talk) 22:59, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
oh it's fine, thank you anw 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 06:01, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Borysk5 can you do that? 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 06:01, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen: Looking at the map it doesn't seem anything changed? Borysk5 (talk) 08:19, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There are slight changes in the Hajjah governorate near Saudi and Shabwa's north, and the south of Marib is now under STC control 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 08:23, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also the Marib-Houthi frontlines have changed https://sanaacenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Marib_Frontlines_January-1-March-31_2025.png 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 08:24, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen: Hmm the Marib and Yemen map seem to be inconsistent so I am not sure which one should take precedence. Borysk5 (talk) 07:25, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Borysk5 I'd follow the more detailed Marib map since it is explained in the main article too 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 07:32, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the current map

[edit]

I know that considering the STC Offensive is ongoing and there's little info about it the map can be quick to change, but currently I feel as though the map has been changed far too quick/with too little evidence. Specifically around Tarim and Al-Mahrah Governorate, I have seen no news sources claim that Tarim has been captured (to the contrary, I've seen reports that the STC is currently attacking the Al-Ghuraf area (15°58'34"N 48°59'30"E)), the only evidence I've seen that Shahn Border Crossing was captures remains unconfirmed and I've seen nothing about Al-Ghaydah. @BorysMapping, may you link the sources you used to update the map? IdioticAnarchist (talk) 19:19, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@IdioticAnarchist: This source specifically for Mahrah: link "This morning, in a significant development on the Omani border, UAE-backed forces were able to take control of the strategic province of Al-Mahra, which overlooks the Arabian Sea, without a conflict.".

STC and government still on same side?

[edit]

I'm not well informed on this but shouldn't they be on opposing sides for obvious reasons? JaxsonR (talk) 20:12, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

100% agree they should be included as a separate side now that the 2025 Hadhramaut offensive has taken place Cobblebricks (talk) 08:15, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
