...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.

that will see a ceasefire in the wartorn country, sources in Kuwait have been reported as saying.

Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper has seen the plans which are made up of four proposals: finding an administrative body to organize the works of ceasefire committees, form field parties across battlefronts of each governorate, link the committees to the field parties on different levels, and establish safe and secure areas across these battlefields.

The roadmap comes after 50 days of talks and a series of previous ceasefire violations that were continuing to increase in their intensity Saudi ambassador to Yemen Mohammed Saeed Al- Jaber told Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper.

Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ...
militias.

Jaber said all parties had conceded to the Saudi roadmap and that the implementation and supervision of the roadmap would be the responsibility of the UN, as well as representatives from both sides of the conflict.

Mohammed Saeed Al Jaber added: "Saudi Arabia is playing a pivotal role in advancing the political process in Yemen, as it has gathered, since an early stage, all Yemeni parties in Dhahran in the south, and worked hard to convince them to sign several major agreements.

"The two sides signed seven agreements that included a cessation of hostilities in seven provinces. They also agreed on the formation of two committees, a military one involving four persons representing the government and the Houthis. These committees will be responsible for the truce and cease-fire process."
