After Suffering Severe Losses, Saudi Proposes Five-Day Yemen Ceasefire
 [ALMANAR.LB] Soddy Arabia...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... Thursday proposed a five-day "humanitarian" ceasefire in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... following weeks of its blatant aggression, with top US diplomat John F. I was in Vietnam, you knowKerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat,conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... urging Ansarullah movement to accept the offer. Field sources from Yemen told al-Manar that the tribal forces managed to seize eight posts in Najran and Jizan which are located in southwestern Saudi Arabia near the border with Yemen. The bombing by a Saudi-led coalition has failed to halt an advance by the army and the popular committees in Yemen, and concern has been mounting over increasing civilian deaths. Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir announced the ceasefire proposal after talks in Riyadh with Kerry, who described it as a "major opportunity to ease the humanitarian crisis." Jubeir said he had informed Kerry of "the kingdom's idea of a five-day ceasefire in Yemen to coordinate with international organizations to deliver aid to Yemen if Ansarullah movement and their allies commit to this". A date for the ceasefire, "will soon be set," he told news hounds at a joint presser with the US secretary of state, who earlier held talks with King Salman ...either the largest species of Pacific salmon or the current Sheikh of the Burnin' Sands, Cutodian of the Two Holy Mosquesand Lord of Most of the Arabians.... and other top government officials.
