Yemen war: The oil fields of Shabwa have become the new battleground (Middle East Eye)

January 6, 2022

With its highly prized oil fields, the coastal province of Shabwa in Yemen’s south has moved centre-stage in the ongoing war in recent months.

The country’s third-biggest province has largely stayed out of the spotlight during the course of the conflict, as major battles raged elsewhere. But after a bitter dispute erupted in Shabwa between fighters backed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and pro-government forces, the Houthi rebels made their move. Now, a counter-offensive has been launched to push them back.
