They do have the forces to hold all this territory as well right? Hopefully they can keep stocking up on warheads and get sovereignty through deterrence. With the weakening of US forces in the area that might be enough.

    Ansarallah controls the territory where the vast majority of Yemen's population lives. By all accounts they are well armed and well organized. They also have numerous tribal militias on their side. I am not an expert on Yemen but it seems much more plausible to me that it is the Saudi backed mercenaries who were too short on manpower to hold all the territory they controlled.
