Half of Yemen's regions remain outside Houthi control
The Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) expanded militarily in Yemen after taking control of Sana'a in 2014. However, they have been unable to reach three major provinces: Hadramout, Al Mahra, and Socotra, which remain outside their control due to the resistance of government forces, popular resistance, and the Saudi-led coalition supporting the legitimacy. These areas share strategic and economic importance, especially Hadramout, which is Yemen's largest province and hosts vital oil resources and important land routes. Al Mahra is notable for its long coastline and border with Oman, while Socotra is considered a protected natural reserve of international significance. Although the Houthis do not have military control over these regions, they have targeted their facilities, such as the Adba Port, and continue to operate through missile and drone attacks, as well as smuggling activities and supporting clandestine cells. Many internally displaced persons live in these areas, seeking shelter in their relative stability despite the ongoing war.
