Yemen loyalists push back rebels on Red Sea coast
Pro-government forces advance in the western Yemeni
Aden - Arab Today
Yemeni government forces made gains around the Red Sea coastal town of Mokha in heavy fighting overnight as they rebuffed a rebel counter-offensive, a military source said on Thursday.
Seven loyalist troops and 16 rebels were killed in the fighting, hospital sources said. Twelve soldiers and 28 rebels were wounded.
Government forces captured Yakhtul, 14 kilometers (nine miles) north of Mokha, and Jabal Nar, 10 kilometers (six miles) to the east, consolidating their grip on the town they overran on February 10, the military source told AFP.
On Tuesday, government forces had suffered a major setback in the offensive they launched in January to try to recapture Yemen’s 450 kilometer (280 mile) Red Sea coastline, which had previously been almost entirely in rebel hands.
Rebel forces counterattacked, killing a deputy army commander and 18 other troops.
The loyalists’ capture of Mokha was their biggest success in months.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
