On the basis of international law and the request of the legitimate government of the country, the Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia has established its role in Yemen. On these two legitimate bases, it is assisted by the Yemeni people, with whom it maintains historical ties and inalienable relations.
Some insist on lies and continue to question the intentions of the Arab coalition countries towards our brothers in Yemen. They seek to carry out manoeuvres, agendas, rumours and analyses based on bad intentions, with the aim of discrediting the coalition countries and harming them in one way or another.
In fact, the evolution of the Arab coalition’s positions in the Yemeni crisis only confuses these disinterested and factually blinded minds.
The evolution of events has not helped them to convince the public of their allegations.
His Excellency Mr. Anwar Gargash, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates, said that the recent peace agreement in Yemen could be a starting point for a comprehensive solution to the crisis in Yemen. This initiative could build on the positive political momentum that the agreement had created to achieve a comprehensive settlement. In other words, more efforts are needed to find a political solution.
A political solution in Yemen has always been a concern of the Arab coalition. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have always considered a political settlement of the crisis as the gateway to security and stability in Yemen. The Houthis, as we all know, have blocked this settlement in recent years by invoking various pretexts and demands.
However, the countries of the Arab coalition do not want to miss the opportunity to stabilize the Yemeni people, because the crisis must end one day. Any military conflict will inevitably lead to the negotiating table, regardless of its duration.
But the dilemma remains in the Houthis’ desire to improve negotiating conditions and strengthen their positions and to seek to complete their plan by trying to strengthen their control over all Yemeni provinces. This issue has remained an insurmountable challenge since the Houthi coup. The crisis in which the countries of the Arab coalition have assumed a large number of human, material and military sacrifices.
In addition, those who say that the Arab coalition has caused some kind of problem for the Yemeni people do not understand the facts on the ground and are not very well informed about the geostrategic dynamics of the region.
One can imagine what would have happened if the Arab coalition had not faced the Houthi incursion and if the Iranian mullahs had strengthened their grip on Yemen.
Yemen is reported to have fallen prey to Iranian hegemony as in other Arab countries that were victims of Iran’s direct interventions. The country would have become an indirect battleground with world powers.
Imagine the scene of General Qasem Soleimani, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s Qods Force, wandering through Yemen’s cities if Houthi’s control materialized, had the Arab coalition not made a firm military intervention.
This scene was not improbable because the mullahs do not hesitate to profess their influence and dominate the Arab capitals, but they boast about it.
Indeed, the recent agreement reached in Yemen demonstrated the willingness of the Arab coalition to reunite the Yemenis and unite to accelerate security and stabilization in that country.
Such agreements are an indication of the possibility of bringing the different parties to a crisis together, regardless of the severity of the dispute. This is possible if everyone abandons their personal aspirations and strives to defend the interests of the Yemeni people and learn from the experience of the Arab countries.
In these countries, whose potential, resources and development components exceed those of Yemen, when Iran’s agents complied with the mullahs’ orders, conditions have only gotten worse.
