| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Yemeni Prime Minister Ahmed Obeid bin Daghr has arrived in Cairo to meet with Egyptian officials, including President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, reported the state news agency MENA on Sunday. Bin Daghr said in a statement that 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... is "keen" to "activate relations" with the Egyptian government through talks with Egypt’s Prime Minister Sherif Ismail. He also hailed Cairo’s support to the "legitimate" leadership of Yemen’s President Abd Rabu Mansour Hadi and its participation in the Saudi-led Arab Coalition fighting Iran-backed 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... militias. 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... formed the coalition and launched a campaign of air strikes in March 2015 to push the Houthis back. The Houthis attempted a coup to topple Hadi’s internationally recognized government. The premier’s visit to Cairo comes after peace talks between Yemen’s warring sides in Kuwait failed to bring a breakthrough in early August. UN envoy to Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh, Ahmed, however, said negotiation between the two sides will resume within a month. The UN envoy said the location for the next round of Yemeni peace talks will be decided later. |
