Executive Summary:

June has seen a significant simultaneous escalation on two distinct fronts: a military confrontation between the Houthis and the government, particularly on the fronts in Al- Dhale’, and a tribal conflict in Al-Jawf centered on Al-Rayyan encampment. These developments are putting the Yemeni ceasefire through its first real test of sustainability since it was signed.

The Houthi group’s announcement of a popular mobilization, statements by the movement’s leader Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi regarding readiness for war, and the resumption of clashes in Al-Dhale’ and Lahj have been the clearest indicators of the truce’s erosion since its signing. However, the absence of any official Houthi announcement of a unilateral withdrawal from the truce suggests that this is a limited escalation in rhetoric and on the ground, rather than an actual decision to go to war.

As for the tribal uprising in Al-Rayyan, it is the most significant development; for it may mark the beginning of widespread tribal opposition to the Houthis, which could place them in another predicament no less serious than the threat posed by the legitimate government’s forces.

In the areas under the legitimate government’s control, however, the security situation continues to deteriorate; The assassination of Brigadier General Yahya Wahish in Hodeidah was announced; preliminary investigations suggest Houthi support for the perpetrators. Additionally, journalist Mohammad Aida was assassinated in Hadhramout, and the perpetrators have not yet been arrested despite prior reports of threats. These two incidents raise a common question regarding the ability of security agencies in areas under the legitimate government’s control to provide protection and deter threats, regardless of who was responsible in each individual case.

The Political Briefing:

The significance of the political developments that took place last June lies in four main aspects:

First: The Houthis’ escalation and the de-escalation process test

The Houthis’ escalation and their declaration of a popular mobilization represent one of the most significant developments of the month. This is considered the most prominent military escalation, which in turn is clearly reflected on the political side and has led to the collapse of the political truce. Although there have been no genuine attempts to violate the truce, nor has there been a clear official Houthi announcement unilaterally ending it, However, the resumption of clashes on some fronts and the intensification of mobilization rhetoric reflect the current tension and may further complicate any future efforts to resume the political process.

These indicators alone are not sufficient to conclude that a full-scale war is imminent, but they do increase the likelihood of a gradual escalation unless accompanied by effective political and military efforts to contain the tension.

Second: Tribal Tensions in Al-Rayyan Encampment in Al-Jawf Governorate

The tribal movement in Al-Rayyan encampment, led by tribal sheikh; Hamad Bin Fadgham, emerged as a local development with political and security implications and began to form a tribal coalition opposed to the Houthis. The region also witnessed an escalation after the tribes detained trucks belonging to tribes in Sa’ada. The Houthi group attempted to contain the crisis through two delegations from Sahar tribe—one sent to government-controlled areas and the other to Houthi-controlled areas—but the tribes insisted on rejecting any settlement until the woman claiming to be Saddam Hussein’s daughter was handed over to Al-Rayyan Site. This incident follows the Houthis’ 50-day detention of Sheikh Fadgham and their forcing him to renounce his beliefs—according to his statements after his release—which sparked widespread tribal outrage and criticism even within the group’s own ranks.

It is still too early to assess whether this tension will escalate into a military confrontation or a broader tribal movement against the Houthi group. However, the ongoing tribal mobilization and the lack of clarity regarding the position of the internationally recognized Yemeni government make this issue one worth monitoring, especially in light of the ability of official stances or political support to influence the tribes’ choices between de- escalation and escalation.

Third: Appointment of New Deputy Governors for Hadhramout Governorate

The President of the Presidential Council has issued a resolution appointing seven new deputy governors for Hadhramout Governorate in different sectors, including technical affairs, finance, energy, development, and women’s and youth affairs, with the aim of strengthening the performance of local authorities. During his meeting with the new deputy governors, Hadhramout Governor Salim Al-Khanbashi called for working as a unified team to improve services and address the governorate’s development challenges.

The significance of these appointments lies in the fact that they represent a serious effort by the new local authority—led by Governor Al-Khanbashi—to appoint young professionals to key positions; Therefore, this important step may mark a shift in the nature of the relationship between the local authority and young cadres toward greater empowerment for the latter, especially if these cadres succeed in their current positions. However, assessing its actual impact remains clearly linked to the powers of the deputy governors, the availability of resources, and their ability to translate administrative mandates into tangible improvements in local services and governance.

Fourth: The UN Track and the Limited Opportunities for Resuming the Political Process

In his briefing to the Security Council, the UN envoy noted that recent regional developments—most notably the U.S.-Iran agreement—present a new opportunity to revive the political process in Yemen, pointing out that the military repercussions of the regional conflict on Yemen have remained limited so far. He also spoke about the agreement reached by the Yemeni parties in April to release more than “1,600” detainees—the largest release in the history of the conflict—and reiterated the call for the release of “73” UN staff members being held by the Houthis.

This briefing reflects the UN’s continued focus on humanitarian issues—particularly detainees—as a potential gateway for confidence-building. However, this approach will have limited impact unless it is accompanied by practical steps to address broader political and security issues, as well as guarantees that allow UN organizations to operate safely and stably.

Nevertheless, the humanitarian crisis has also taken its toll: the UN Relief Coordinator confirmed that nearly 60% of Yemenis are now unable to meet their food needs, and that more than “18” million people are suffering from acute hunger and 2.2 million children under the age of five are malnourished. He called for the release of UN detainees, increased humanitarian funding, and support for a political settlement in Yemen. These indicators confirm that the humanitarian crisis cannot be separated from the political impasse, and that continued restrictions on humanitarian work and funding shortfalls may further exacerbate social and economic fragility in the coming period.

The Economic Briefing:

The economic side remains the most closely tied to the daily lives of ordinary citizens; it is the primary factor that simultaneously provokes both their anger and their happiness. If economic conditions improve, this is a key factor in judging the success or failure of officials and the government. Economic conditions have varied between positive and negative. Although key services remain in a state of general decline—which in turn affects citizens, particularly in conflict-affected areas such as Hadhramout and Aden—there are other important positive indicators. We can summarize them as follows:

  • The World Bank provided Yemen with “285” two hundred eighty-five million dollars in funding during 2026–2030; this assistance includes a new financing package for Yemen worth “285” two hundred eighty-five million dollars, distributed across the health, water, irrigation, and urban services sectors, as well as the modernization of public institutions to serve This funding is significant for two reasons: first, it demonstrates continued international support despite all the obstacles and constraints faced by donor organizations; and second, it focuses primarily on sustainability rather than temporary in-kind support.
  • The Ministry of Finance announces pay raises for civilian and military personnel; The Ministry of Finance in Aden announced the implementation of a 20% pay raise for May 2026 salaries for government employees and retirees. This comes in addition to March salary increases for defense and interior ministry Despite the importance of these decisions, the general high cost of living diminishes their impact.
  • Governor Al-Khanbashi confirms improvements in the electricity supply in Hadhramout and reveals plans to expand solar energy projects; these statements by Governor Al- Khanbashi are among the most important promises and have the greatest impact on citizens’ daily lives. This is especially true given that power outages remain frequent during the However, the implementation of solar energy projects may require political will from the Presidential Council due to the relatively large scale of the projects.
  • The Ministry of Electricity announced an emergency plan to increase power generation in Aden and Hadhramout with Saudi support; Saudi Arabia provided $150 million to subsidize fuel for power plants. This decision comes amid an extremely hot summer with prolonged power However, this Saudi support—which is provided almost every summer—may solve the immediate problem of the current summer, but past years have demonstrated the government’s inability to find a long-term solution to the electricity crisis.
  • Hadhramout Governor Salem Al-Khanbashi chaired the first meeting of a joint technical committee with “Aqua International” to develop short- and long-term plans for the electricity and water desalination sectors in the Water desalination projects will be of great importance in Hadhramout and throughout the governorate, as Yemen as a whole suffers from water scarcity. Several regions have been affected by this issue, particularly Taiz and Hajjah earlier this year and last year.
  • The Yemeni Gas Company has approved new measures to improve domestic gas supply chains; these include alternative emergency routes and a new schedule for transporting gas from “Safer” in Marib to the governorates, along with financial penalties for those who fall behind Although these measures may resolve gas shortages in various governorates, including Aden, they may simultaneously face numerous challenges, most notably military and tribal roadblocks that transport convoys may encounter from time to time.
  • The Saudi ambassador to Yemen announced that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has disbursed a new tranche to support the Yemeni government’s budget deficit, amounting to more than “224” (two hundred twenty-four) million Saudi riyals. This is an important step because it will have a direct impact on citizens’ daily Nevertheless, these steps still require genuine sustainability that leads to stability and an overall improvement in the payment of salaries.

While the positive economic indicators are varied, as we highlighted above, the negative indicators are numerous and significant. They can be summarized as follows:

  • According to a government report, about “297” two hundred ninety-seven thousand households in Marib are in need of urgent assistance as the humanitarian crisis worsens. These reports underscore the difficult situation faced by families in Marib in particular, as the fighting has turned the area into a gathering place for many displaced people, who are suffering from difficult economic and humanitarian conditions. Despite all government, regional, and UN efforts to provide support to the displaced, these efforts still fall short of what is needed.
  • According to UN agencies, the famine will worsen unless international support is increased; three UN agencies (FAO, World Food Program, and UNICEF) have issued an urgent appeal for increased humanitarian funding for Yemen, after figures revealed that nearly five million people in areas under the recognized government’s control are suffering from acute food insecurity, a number projected to rise to 5.4 million during the upcoming dry season. The agencies warned that declining funding would reduce food and health assistance, cautioning that millions of Yemenis could slip into hunger and lose their livelihoods without urgent
  • As for displacement, the situation was no better; the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) stated that Yemen is experiencing one of the worst displacement crises in the world, noting that 2 million people remain internally displaced. The humanitarian crisis we discussed in Marib served as an example of the worsening displacement crisis in Yemen.
  • While the current humanitarian and economic conditions are extremely difficult, the economic situation—in terms of rationalizing government spending and combating corruption—was no The Yemeni Network for Rights and Freedoms accused the dissolved Transitional Council of operating an illegal tax collection system generating more than 22.4 billion riyals per month. Most of these funds came from fees imposed on petroleum products, cement companies, and security checkpoints, and the network emphasized that these figures represent only the minimum of documented cases. Although these allegations are not official, they warrant official action at the highest levels to verify their validity and to determine the current status of these funds— whether they are still being deposited into the accounts of the dissolved Transitional Council or other accounts linked to it.

 Yemeni Presidential Council discusses economic reforms and directs government to control revenues

The Presidential Council’s serious attempt to address the issue of revenue, which is the most critical issue in the economic sphere

Social tensions escalated last June, particularly due to the onset of summer and the accompanying rise in temperatures, which exacerbated public anger over power outages— especially in coastal areas such as Mukalla and Aden. This was evident in Aden city, which witnessed angry protests over the poor electricity service; in fact, the level of discontent reached the point where people were encouraged to sleep on the streets to escape the heat waves inside their homes and the high humidity. Several cities in Hadhramout also witnessed these protests, albeit to a lesser extent. In Shabwah, meanwhile, other protests took place in response to what they called the “marginalization of the eastern and southern regions” of the governorate. As for Abyan, a tribal and human rights meeting was held, affirming that the escalation would continue until “Ashal” and all the abductees are released. This places a heavy responsibility on the government to account for all abductees, especially those who were victims of the now-dissolved Transitional Council’s forces.

As for public health, the situation this month has been more concerning than in previous months, due to reports of cases of certain diseases: Taiz alone has recorded more than twenty-two thousand cases of malaria since the beginning of this year. The Health Office also reported more than 804,000 cases of dengue fever and 18 deaths since the beginning of this year, with Aden accounting for more than 400,000 cases of dengue fever, including 14 deaths, during the same period. As for measles, 17,000 cases and 910 deaths have been reported in various areas under the legitimate government’s control since the beginning of this year, with Hadhramout leading the way with 504,000 cases and 18 deaths. Perhaps the silver lining amid these alarming figures on the spread of various diseases is the arrival of more than 400,000 vaccines provided by the United Nations to Aden to combat these widespread diseases. There is no doubt that this deteriorating situation places a greater responsibility on the government to exert more effort in vaccination and public awareness campaigns.

On another front, the Minister of Health inaugurated the Charitable Heart Center for Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery, and Cardiac Catheterization, affiliated with Aden Charitable Hospital, coinciding with the fifth surgical camp for heart diseases. There is no doubt that the center will play an important role in improving the health care provided to patients in Aden. The Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council also issued a resolution to establish two hospitals in Taiz and Aden, an important step in the government’s effort to improve health care for citizens.

On the humanitarian side, conditions for displaced persons in the camps remain difficult; housing for displaced persons in Taiz has suffered extensive damage, with some units destroyed by rain and storms. The situation for displaced persons in Hajjah was no better; in the governorate’s camps, an elderly woman died of hunger and illness, just one week after her elderly husband died of the same causes. The UN Refugee Agency also announced its intention to establish 770 temporary housing units for the most vulnerable displaced persons in Marib. This represents an important step in efforts to alleviate the suffering of displaced persons in Marib.

In other news, the death of adventurer Al-Qaqa’a, who fell into the crater of Haradhah Damt volcano in Al-Dhale’, has sparked widespread public interest across various regions and segments of society. Al-Qaqa’a had recently gained fame for his stunts performed on the rim of the volcano’s crater. Many social media users followed the events surrounding his rescue. This incident raises another issue: the importance of protecting such talented individuals, providing them with safety equipment, and making the most of their talents.

As for Al-Dhale’, the area witnessed a tragic incident that left six children dead and eleven others with varying injuries following the explosion of a mortar shell left behind by the Houthi group. This incident starkly highlights the negative impact of war remnants and the civilian casualties they cause.

Security and Military Briefing:

The month of June has witnessed a notable escalation in security and military challenges, represented by the resumption of limited clashes on some fronts, the continuation of assassinations and security breaches within cities, as well as issues that affected public confidence in security institutions. The most significant developments can be highlighted under four headings:

The resumption of clashes and the reality of de-escalation:

The fronts in Al-Dhale’ and Lahj have seen a resumption of limited clashes, especially since these clashes occurred shortly after the Houthis announced a general mobilization and their readiness to return to war. Houthi leader Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi hinted at their readiness to return to war. The legitimate government had announced that five soldiers were wounded on Al-Dhale’ and Lahj fronts following clashes that lasted several hours.

This escalation poses a serious and real threat to the truce in Yemen, which has been in place for more than four years, especially since the Houthis have escalated the level of their ongoing threats this time. In this context, the legitimate government has affirmed its readiness for any future military escalation. The Yemeni defense minister has made several visits to various governorates, including Marib Gov., to underscore the army’s readiness.

The Assassination of Journalist; Mohammad Aida and Its Implications for Local Security in Hadhramout:

The assassination of journalist Mohammad Aida in Hadhramout represented a troubling security development due to its impact on the sense of local security and freedom of the press, especially since he had been receiving death threats for several years, as confirmed by journalists close to him. This incident opens the door to increased suspicion and erodes trust in the security forces, especially since Hadhramout as a whole had generally enjoyed a degree of calm and stability in recent years. On the other hand, it primarily highlights the rights of journalists in a country filled with disturbances such as Yemen.

The assassination of Brigadier General; Yahya Wahish on the western coast:

The assassination of Brigadier General Yahya Wahish, commander of the First Division of the National Resistance, following the explosion of an improvised explosive device as his vehicle passed in Hodeidah, represents a loss on the battlefield for the National Resistance, given his leadership role on the western coast fronts; as Brigadier General Wahish is considered one of the key commanders on the western coast battlefronts. Security authorities also announced the arrest of the suspects in the operation as they attempted to flee by sea hours after the attack. Preliminary investigations confirmed that the suspects received support and orders from the Houthi group. This operation is a significant indication of the Houthis’ ability to infiltrate areas under the legitimate government’s control and assassinate influential military commanders. However, credit is due to the security forces for their ability to arrest the suspects shortly after the operation was carried out.

Drones observed flying over key areas in Mukalla:

Unofficial sources reported, and news websites circulated reports, that reconnaissance drones were flying over vital military and political areas in Mukalla, and that air defense forces had engaged these drones. However, the lack of official statements from the relevant authorities has fueled both doubts and speculation; while these reports could be considered inaccurate since they were not officially released, the silence with which the relevant authorities have responded to the matter also raises suspicions.

The importance of this information is underscored by the need for swift official communication on sensitive security issues; the lack of clarification allows rumors and speculation to spread, especially in a city of such administrative, military, and economic importance as Mukalla. However, determining the party responsible or the purpose of the flight remains impossible in the absence of reliable information.
