Saudi-led airstrikes against rebels in Yemen have destroyed much of their military capabilities, but almost six weeks into the campaign the situation on the ground remains unchanged, analysts said.
"The Saudis seem to be caught in several contradictions — opening up a war with the Huthis and forces loyal to former president (Ali Abdullah) Saleh without a coherent plan for its ground component," said Neil Partrick, a Gulf analyst at the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies.
On the other side, the so-called popular resistance committees, who make up the majority of fighters on Hadi's side, lack the experience and organization needed to confront an organized force such as the Huthis, according to a military analyst in Aden.
"Air support from the coalition is not enough amid a lack of organization on ground," said the analyst who requested anonymity.
Fighting in Aden between rival forces has raged on for weeks with neither side making significant gains.
Aden International Airport, the presidential palace, as well as the strategic Al-Anad air base in nearby Lahj are all still the control of the rebels, despite frequent coalition airstrikes against them.
The capital itself is under the total control of the Huthis and their allies with no resistance from any pro-Hadi forces reported there.
Such a force, in its familiar mountainous redoubt near the Saudi border, "cannot be defeated without a major ground intervention," said Mithhadi. "An air war will not change the situation on ground, regardless how intensive."
Partrick agreed, saying that "you cannot change political realities from the air".
