Will Saudi Arabia’s efforts to save Yemen from Houthi terrorism? Details

Yemen is witnessing major developments following efforts by Gulf Arab countries to rescue the people from the Iranian-backed Houthi militia, specifically following the Yemeni talks in Riyadh and the Kingdom’s two-month ceasefire agreement that began with Ramadan.

International optimism

Hans Grundberg, the UN secretary-general’s special envoy to Yemen, expressed optimism about the Riyadh consultations, saying: It is a real opportunity to resolve the Yemeni crisis.

We hope that the consultations will contribute to finding a way to reach a solution to the crisis, he said.

This truce is the most important step in the negotiations because it sets the path forward, and it is the first real truce we have seen in Yemen in more than six years, he said during a press conference in Amman.

Success of truce

According to the BBC, the continuation of this truce is a real opportunity to establish peace and security in Yemen. With its success, the truce may continue as a prelude to a political solution.

Observers see the truce with the sports talks as a last chance to put an end to the Yemeni war, given the success of the truce so far.

Some see the truce and talks as Houthi’s last chance before further sanctions and blockade by the international community, which will ultimately lead to the collapse of Iran-backed militias.

Experts said: Such a truce and its success are a reflection of the efforts to establish a permanent ceasefire and save the people from the six-year war.

Houthi abuses

The Houthi militia did not dare violate the truce this time, after the Saudi-declared border.

The Houthi militia fears international retaliation after the attack on Saudi oil facilities.

Experts said the Houthis would not dare to commit any violations after the international community explicitly rejected their terror and vowed to retaliate and pay a price if they did not commit this time to a truce.
