The Abyan campaign was a 2015 campaign for control of the Abyan Governorate of Yemen, between the Houthis and Yemen Army units loyal to Ali Abdullah Saleh on one side, and militiamen and Yemen Army units loyal to Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi on the other side, supported by jihadists of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.[7] The pro-Hadi forces recaptured the Abyan Governorate on 11 August 2015,[12] after launching an offensive on pro-Houthi forces in early August.[13]
