For our subscribers: Our professional map of control in Yemen’s civil war has been updated to May 2021, as Houthi forces have reached positions just a few kilometers from Marib city, the last northern stronghold of the internationally-recognized Hadi government.
Subscribers:New map of control in Libya. With a peace deal and unity government now in place, Libya’s civil war appears to be over. But former rival forces still maintain their own separate areas of control for now.
Among those events: A battle over villages held by holdout forces, a siege across the ceasefire line, and the contentious re-establishment of the border between southern Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Subscribers: PolGeoNow’s Syria map has been updated for the events of the past four months, with the so-called “Islamic State” (ISIS/ISIL) losing its last firmly-controlled site in the central desert. However, the group is still very much active, operating from mobile camps, and we’ve illustrated its major areas of presence with a new symbol on the map.
For our subscribers: Yemen’s Houthis have so far failed to capture Marib city from the Saudi-backed rival Hadi government, but they’ve still been busy expanding their control over the past several months.
