Over the past month, the US has increased its military presence in Yemen. Recently, it has sent Marine Vessels to Bab al-Mandab Strait and reinforced its troops in the port city of Mukala and the al-Anad airbase. The deployments have drawn angry reactions from Yemenis who have been bearing the brunt of the Saudi invasion for over a year now. Our correspondent Mohammed al-Attab reports from the Yemeni capital Sana’a.
