There is no military solution to the war imposed upon Yemen by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which is now in its 7th year with terrible destruction of the infra-structure, huge loss of life, displacement of millions from their homes, and famine staring in the face.
These are the sufferings of the aggressed nation, the Arab world’s most impoverished, whose death toll, either through war or related issues, stands at almost 400,000 men, women, and children, but this ghastly catastrophe inflicted by the aggressors, has failed to break the iron resolve of Yemen’s steadfast defenders.
Of course, the invaders, especially miserably rich Saudi Arabia, have also suffered extensive damage, not because of the hundreds of billions of petrodollars squandered in a vain bid to subjugate Yemen, but because of the relentless retaliation with drones and missiles by Yemen’s legitimate government in Sana’a led by the popular Ansarullah Movement, on strategic industrial and military sites of the aggressors.
The regime in Riyadh, though it has air superiority to bomb, destroy, and kill, the Yemeni people, it has realized that all the terrible weapons supplied by the US, Britain, and France, at exorbitant prices, can never ensure it any victory.
It is now looking for a face-saving exit and is holding indirect negotiations with the Yemenis, although its arrogance makes it hard to admit the truth.
The Yemeni defenders for their part are confident of holding their ground, and if possible carry the battle to the enemy camp, but would certainly prefer a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, however, neither with Riyadh or Abu Dhabi.
They maintain that only intra-Yemeni talks between the various tribal groups, political parties, and religious sectors, can provide a lasting solution to the crisis in Yemen.
Mohammed Abdus-Salaam, the chief negotiator of Yemen’s National Salvation Government, during his meeting in the Omani capital of Muscat On Monday with Iran’s Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, discussed these issues.
He thanked the Islamic Republic for its moral support to the besieged people of Yemen, while briefing Iran’s top diplomat of the situation in his war-torn country.
Amir-Abdollahian expressed deep regret over continuation of the war imposed on the Yemeni people by Saudi Arabia, and stressed the need for an end to the country’s siege and war.
He agreed that the problems in Yemen should be settled through intra-Yemeni talks in order to guarantee the unity, independence and territorial integrity of Yemen, without any meddling by outside parties.
In view of these undeniable facts, it is now for the UN to earnestly strive for ending the crisis by condemning the Saudi aggression and supporting the people of Yemen, instead of merely saying that 24 million Yemenis are in dire need of humanitarian aid, including 10 million suffering from extreme levels of hunger.
