Syrian soldiers will help fight the Houthis (watch video)

Yemen ·

Yemeni officials told AFP that thousands of Syrian soldiers will be deployed in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, and that some have already arrived. The move is linked to Riyadh's push to rally international support against the Houthis and to back Yemen's government in Aden.

Yemen has been divided since Yemen's Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) took control of Sanaa in 2014, and a Saudi-led coalition has backed the internationally recognised government since 2015.
