Adam Baron, a fellow at the Future Security programme at the New America think tank, says that the fight for Yemen’s third-largest city Taiz, is entering a “make or break” stage, according to Al Jazeera.
“The battle for Jabal Sabr is pretty much make or break in order to capture Taiz,” Baron says, referring to a strategic mountain nearby, adding that the fight is, “partially about symbolism but more than anything it’s about simple geography”.
“It’s crucial for maintaining control over the city”, he adds.
