But bombing alone may not be enough to stop the Houthis, who experts say have proved resilient.The Houthis broadly maintain control over the capital of Sanaa and the country’s northwest. Yemen’s exiled government is part of a fractious group that for now appears unable to wrest any control back from the rebels. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which declared war on the Houthis 10 years ago, don’t appear likely to reenter the conflict as well as they pursue peace talks with the rebels.
