6:02 pm
where fighting between who has escalated in race and wakes is adelaide coalition which backs the government says it's cute. at least 160 who if you find his them, the rebels have denied those claims. the fate of marie band who controls it may well determine the future of the pace in the water own country. as priyanka, gupta reports in yemen, 7 years civil war. the guns have rarely fallen silent. now, a fierce battle for control is being waged to the northeast, who the rebels are fighting to capture marin. the oil rich province is the jamini government's last strong hold in the north. after weeks of siege and fighting duties, se, then circling and capturing more areas, including a strategic gateway to wire up city, and parts of ne, bring shop, or province developmental matter. halle is merely an area, is a 3200 square kilometers. hundreds of the mercenaries had been killed and wounded,
6:03 pm
including elements from al qaeda, an iso and many weapons had been seized. the armed forces salute the role of the tribes of marin and chub, war and people of both provinces, against the aggressors. the armed forces will continue the liberation of more territories. he saw the back to him, the government forces and their ally tribal fighters are pushing back with dozens of airstrikes and a ground offensive and married. and i don't know, or let alone act, the seller allowed to who like there are infiltration and penetrations made by the who, the fighters and i'll of dia and in lapka valley. but the ongoing resistance is still there as the war continues. these who, the infiltration and penetrations will soon come to an end that for both sides, the controls of mario is critical. and where yemen swore is likely to be decided is basically the last northern stronghold that the many government has. and so as far as they're concerned, be cannot afford to lose matter because that would mean, and they losing their switching and nausea and shades. the hope she, you have
6:04 pm
a significant piece deal and actually allow for some, some level of the power share with the hershey movement. they cannot afford to do that region of yemen because that would mean essentially losing crenshaw, her natural resources that would allow for the her see to basically claim to have a need to be independent. no, the in yemen. my rib already hosts hundreds of thousands of displaced people from across yemen. the un says thousands more have been displaced by the fighting in the province in the last month. a siege by who these is stopping humanitarian aid and critical medical supplies from reaching those who need them. the un is urging both sides still are safe passage for civilians and 8 workers. but so far, those calls have been ignored. bianca gupta on severe for more analysis on this, i was bringing raymond l home, donnie, who is a researcher at the human policy center,
6:05 pm
and he joins us by skype from london. hello there, raymond, who began a major push for the province back in february. and in race and wake, they've renewed their offensive. why now? well, thank you. um and who these have been continually pushing towards nerve, i think for about the last 2 years. and obviously whenever they get the upper hand in other battle fronts, they immediately managed to go and push towards on the front in madam, i do the offensive in madam and particularly the in southern merab, had been steadily progressing as the group is making slow gains and al abby and algebra disparate district obviously despite suffering heavy casualties in the past week about 700 who these were killed mostly by 2 hundreds of saudi lead airstrikes . and essentially, this has created obviously a less of a morale for the cookies to continue and take over a matter of but at the same time, there's also been weakness. and this unity among the anti hooting forces and matter as pressure continues in the past week,
6:06 pm
also about 101210000 people were also displaced in madam. and it doesn't seem that both the, the warring parties are paying any consideration to that, even though some actors are using them as such. to essentially say that the other actor is committing humanitarian at times. and so i think that who these have been nazzo, the bits rounding their the city of merab from the south and then from the north, from a job government. and so they are essentially trying to surround the city, but they're unable to because of the, in the job is at the saudi straits. and as such, are it all depends on the saudis and how much they're willing to fight for matter. if the saudis continue to fight for matter, we can expect a situation like this. although although it is going to be quite deadly on for a long time, because it has been very, very similar to this in the past couple of months. and so if the, if, as the hoop is managed to go into matter, then that means essentially a victory against international recognized government, which is a matter of is that less stronghold for them in the north of yemen. and essentially, this would also de legitimized decided live intervention in yemen because this will not allow them to continue to operate and are in governor. it's a club remote and,
6:07 pm
and marrow or saudi. a projects are being implemented i for their own interest. i am and i do want to get those women sarian situation shortly, but firstly, how likely is it that the government could lose control of married? it's quite possible in the coming weeks for sure. i'm, as i said, it obviously depends on how much the coalition. oh, is willing to fight for a clearly there's an advantage for the coalition because it got air forces. i was that the brown forces that are fighting in yemen, the international recognized government forces. they are unable to basically operate in a safe environment. they're not allowed to hold phones. most of the gliders of the battle are outside of the city or outside of the governor. it. and most of the operations are obviously being led from outside. whereas the, who, these actually have the advantage of essentially having the central system of the army in yemen because they had seized the old military, that strong institutions that are based in center. and so they're able to spin out harder, they're able to direct, but missile strikes much more accurately. and so there is obviously these 2
6:08 pm
disadvantages. so it will have to basically depend on honesty, how much men that with his consent over they can change their tactic. but essentially what we're seeing right now that the who these are trying to surround the governor to morrow and that will make it very easy to enter the city. but there is also proven to be very, very bloody and is also making the hudy's unpopular in their territories because of the amount of dead people that are returning from battle. and also under the false promise that madam has already been taken over by them. says speaking, in fact, deadly caused. let's take a look at that now with the rebels. rapidly kidnapping, imprisoning and abusing members of yamini tribes, who support pro government forces. what's the situation from a humanitarian perspective? you have mentioned some elements, but give us a, a broader idea of what it's like there. essentially right now the, the, any reality currency is, is developing at a very ridiculous rates and inflation is hitting the people really hard. yemen is very threatened by famine and her and, and madam itself,
6:09 pm
although it is somewhat of a haven for stability compared to the other governments in yemen. but there is a huge number of ideas internally, internally displaced. people on the population of the internally displaced may reach between 1000000 to 3000000, depending on what you consider as an internal refugee. as such that the humanitarian access to matter has been stopped to serve these people who essentially i live in maine shift camps, live level of very hot era desert that switches from cold to hot every day. and obviously with the pandemic that is going on. so the situation is quite dire and refugees between the area of matter and sand, essentially have been trapped in fighting and they've been running around. but basically trying to avoid the fighting that's been going on. so being a refugee already or, or rather a displaced person along these front lines has definitely been the most difficult, i would imagine. but also the city of marrow itself on a home to about millions of yamini refugees is also being threatened by a supply block to that ongoing fighting. certainly is a dire situation. thank you for your analysis,
6:10 pm
raymond l hm. donnie researcher at the yemen policy center and our group. thanks for your time. thank you. to the rest of the days news in the least 16 christian mission rains from us and one canadian have been kidnapped in hygiene. they were on their way to the airport in the capitol port prince, when they were taken by armed men in the area of gant's. e. m. howdy is injured years of economic and political upheaval and the situation worse and in july after the assassination of the president. let's bring in mike hannon now his life for us in washington day saying covering this story. what more do we know about this kidnapping, which also includes children, mike yes, it does. as you say, at 16 americans, one canadian at his reported including an unspecified number of children. now they were on their way to the airport after visiting an orphanage when they were taken by what is described as an arm gan. now this is part of
6:11 pm
a captain that has been erupt in within haiti since c assassination of president hoover, now moist 8 back in july in those 3 months since then. more than 280 people have been kidnapped. this is an increase of some 300 percent, just a reflection not power tenuous. c, law and order system is within haiti. now, just on friday, the u. n. extended its mission to haiti for another 9 months. and in recent days, a u. s. delegation has been in that country, exploring ways in which you can help bolster the haitian national police. now, not clear at this particular stage, whether this is going to be any u. s. involvement in at rescuing the kit that people at the state department staying very quiet on the matter. it has issued a statement saying it's aware of the situation and is monitoring it closely. but within haiti itself, this deep division about the presence of foreign forces or foreign bodies such as
6:12 pm
the un, or indeed any form of u. s. security presence. so the addition of added a security personnel from outside the country may, will accentuate those massive divisions that already exist. so a very serious situation indeed, as the observers are contending that the action was carried out by a particular gang, which is said to be responsible for more than 80 percent of the kidnappings over the past year. so this is an ongoing situation. clearly the law and order situation within haiti falling apart, not clear at this particular stage, but the haitian authorities will reach out outside the country for added security help in resolving yet another kidnap situation. michael mentioned was another kidnapping. tell us a little bit about the frequency of these kind of events in hygiene recent times. well, it has been massive, as i said, since the assassination of the president,
6:13 pm
in particular, even before his assassination, there were a number of kidnappings back in april for example, a number of catholic priests and some nuns were kidnapped by the same group that i'm referring to and kidnapping has become basically a way of extracting money, of all sorts of ways in which gangs operate and terms of getting financial resources. now, with the kidnapping of those pre se, for example, the whole country went on strike 3 days later in protest against these ongoing kidnappings. similar action may follow the kidnappings of the mission. read the most recent ones, but kidnapping has clearly become a way of existence within haiti. and this is of massive concern. and this is one of the reasons why us security delegation visited port up points in recent days. to discuss the haitian ways in which the us can both the security ability can help bring an end this absolute massive wave of kidnappings by on guns. we appreciate
