Reports from war-torn northern Yemen this morning tell a tell of widespread fighing and bloodshed and a crucial victory for the Yemeni military. Hussein Kamza, the commander of rebels in the Amran governorate, has reportedly been killed during violent clashes with the army. Further details on how he died have not been made and independent confirmation of the leader's death have not been received. Overall leader of the Shiite rebels, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, remains at large. In a seperate development, the rebels have refused to accept the government's ceasefire proposals. In a region with deep seated mistrust of the central government this is not suprising. Mecasr will continue to monitor this conflict closely in the weeks to come.
