| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Yemeni President Abed Rabbu Mansour Hadi discussed on Thursday with the UN envoy Ismail Ould al-Sheikh Ahmed in Riyadh ways to resume peace talks with 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. In August 2016, UN-sponsored talks for establishing peace 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... collapsed without any breakthroughs. The attempt for pushing for peace comes amid cynicism blanketing the Yemeni situation. The UN envoy is also expected to meet with officials from the Arab Coalition to discuss ceasefire. Meanwhile, ...back at the wrecked scow, a single surviver held tightly to the smashed prow... the Saudi forces have ended a battle with Houthi militias early Thursday at the border Saudi city of Jazan near Yemen. Al Arabiya News Channel’s correspondent said that Saudi forces have foiled a big attack from the Iran-backed Houthi militias near al-Dafina and al-Qiran villages in Jazan. Military sources said that the battle has continued for two hours, where at least 40 Houthis were killed including one leader. |
