On 12 and 13 November 2024, CAR deployed to Mokha, a key port city on the south-west coast of Yemen, alongside maritime security units of the Yemeni National Resistance Forces (NRF). Established in 2018, the NRF is commanded by General Tareq Saleh, who is also part of the Yemen Presidential Leadership Council .
