| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Yemen’s government delegation has quit talks in Kuwait with Shiite Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. 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... rebels despite resuming them earlier this month. Officials with Yemen’s internationally recognized government of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named they were considering proposals to reconvene the talks, which have failed to bridge the gap with the rebels, in Oman. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to brief news hounds otherwise. Hadi’s government is backed by a US assisted Saudi-led military campaign against the Iranian catspaws. The war has killed some 9,000 people. Hadi’s negotiators are demanding the implementation of a UN Security Council resolution which stipulates the withdrawal of militias from all cities. The Houthis want the Saudi-led offensives to stop first, and also a share of power in a transitional government. |
