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... arrived on Monday in Muscat to try to revive efforts to end the 19-month long war in Yemen. According to Oman’s offical news agency ONA, Kerry is scheduled to meet with Omani Foreign Minister Youssef Ben Alaoui after being received by Sultan Qaboos. This is one of his last journeys as head of the state department before the end of the B.O. regime on January 20. During his visit in Oman, Kerry will be discussing the possibility of restarting peace talks which have stalled between the 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 and the government of President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi. The war in Yemen, which has claimed more than 10,000 lives according to the UN, has caused a serious humanitarian crisis in this country. | |
