The Yemeni army spokesman General Yehya Sarea announced that the around 8000 Sudanese mercenaries were killed or injured since the beginning of the Saudi-led aggression on Yemen, adding that 2000 of them were claimed during the past month.

General Sarea displayed during his press conference testimonies of some of the Sudanese kidnapped by the Yemeni forces, stressing that Sudan’s participation in the aggression imposed on Yemen to take counter measures.
In this context, media reports noted that the Sudanese officials are mulling a decision to withdraw 10000 of the troops in Yemen due to the augmenting losses inflicted upon them there.
Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched a devastating campaign against Yemen in March 2015, with the goal of bringing the government of former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi back to power and crushing the Ansarullah movement.
The US-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a nonprofit conflict-research organization, estimates that the war has claimed more than 100,000 lives over the past four and a half years.
The war has also taken a heavy toll on the country’s infrastructure, destroying hospitals, schools, and factories. The UN says over 24 million Yemenis are in dire need of humanitarian aid, including 10 million suffering from extreme levels of hunger.
