Yemen Post: After three days of denial and speculations, medical sources on Tuesday told reporters that a top Al-Houthi rebel leader, and the most wanted man by Sana’a Authorities, Abdul Malik Al-Houthi has died in the 48 Military Hospital.
Rebels neither confirm nor deny.
Also ten rebels were sentenced to death with regards to the fighting in Bani Hushaish, outside of Sana’a last year.

As u well know Jane information provided by the state and its organisation are almost always lies, or wrong information is due to incompetence. I laugh when ever the president anounces (again and again) that the war will end in three days. also if u add up all the killed houthis announced by the state then that adds up to a few thousands (surely a few thousand would of annihilated them) when the reality is 300-600(600 max). It is certainly possible that he is dead but I think unlikely. the only credible source of his death would be the houthis themselves. I think if he was killed they would announce it in a few days. if they don’t then he is alive and it’s to their advantage to make the state believe he is dead, if he is being harassed a lot. but for houthi moral they will have to announce he is alive soon. We will know soon enough, i will be watching the two houthi sites I know of.

I thought that you are the last one to think of what has been published in newsyemen is right. The regime has used all its media and they failed. Now, they are using the so-called independent media but this is for their bad since all of these media sites have been proven wrong.
At last, I would like to let you know that I am a 100% sure that alhothi is still safe and sound but they did not pay this topic any attention.
You will make sure soon and know from now on that newsyemen is not a reliable source any more!!!!

News Yemen used to be good, and its important to report the propaganda war as well as the physical war.

The Yemenite news sites that were not owned by the government did publish some unbiased articles. Since the kidnapping of the journalist from al ishtarki news these news site have fallen in line with the sites owned by the government like, sabanews.net.
An example is yemenpost.net, its articles used to challenge the government, now they are parroting the same information as the government. Some Yemenite journalists seem to be attempting to outdo each other in their support for the government. I guess it’s to save their own skin.
For the guy who says he is 100% sure abdul malik al houthi is alive, are you in the same room as him?

I have several unanswered questions, i understand the fact the Yemeni government or should i say regime lies but what i don’t understand is why is this war lasting as long as it is? i know that they have been in several feuds in the past but none have lasted this long and mostly can the Houthy’s really handle? and thank you..
