One of the most "interesting" aspects in the Houthi blockade of the Red Sea is the silence of Egypt who is the biggest loser from Houthi action. That silence may be ending soon as Egypt prepares it air force.
Egyptian President al-Sisi has ordered the Egyptian Air Force to prepare plans to attack the Houthis in Yemen, whose actions in the Gulf are causing Egypt to lose billions of dollars as a result of the closure of the Suez Canal.
The Egyptian army has prepared a model in the Libyan desert, between the cities of Qasr Farafra and Bult, on which the Egyptian Air Force is training.
Egypt plays a role in the ongoing conflict in Yemen today. Since March 2015, it has been a member of the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis and has previously deployed some 8,000 troops in Yemen.
