Saudis Hire Senegalese To Fight In Yemen

Here.

Pakistan, leery of the effect on Sunnis and Shia in Pakistan itself, declined to send troops. The Egyptian military rulers have made noises about sending troops — Saudi Arabia has been sending Egypt billions — but has not yet done so;  the memory of Nasser’s Yemen fiasco in the late 1960s may make the Egyptians hesitate. But Senegal is ready, ready to send troops to “defend the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.” As if the Houthis could successfully invade Saudi Arabia bristling with Western arms of all kinds, and reach those cities far to the north.
