Who wins in the Yemen war?

The site said: “The war in Yemen is more than a decade old, and there are no signs of a solution on the horizon. Israeli air strikes last month reduced the number of senior government officials in Sanaa, prompting the Houthis to appoint almost an entire new government. At the same time, internal strife within the internationally recognized Yemeni government has led to a confrontation within the Presidential Leadership Council over decision-making and legitimacy. Both sides are struggling to maintain their cohesion.” The situation in Yemen is at a complete standstill at this point. “Both the internationally recognized government in Aden and the Houthi government in Sanaa are facing serious political, military, and even economic challenges at the present time.”

“It argues that neither side will simply disappear,” the site added. “There will be no easy military solution to the conflict in Yemen,” it says. “The analysis is that the Houthis will suddenly disappear and that continued air strikes will make them lose power.” “The internationally recognized government will not be completely expelled, given its supporters.”

The article explains that this support allowed the Yemeni government to maintain a symbolic presence with the international community amid what it calls the “politics of non-politics” from Washington. He continues: “I believe that the continuation of the policy of non-politics in Yemen does more harm to American national security interests than it benefits,” warning that America’s diplomatic absence “only contributes to distracting American national security interests… This will certainly benefit the Russians and Chinese. When you are not there, people will fill the void.”

The example also indicates Beijing’s keenness to achieve balance. He adds: “The Chinese are very good at playing their cards. They are still committed to neutrality, open channels of communication with all parties to the conflict – the Houthis and the Yemeni government – and balance their strategic relations with the Gulf states.”

The article concluded: “Yemen cannot be seen without the Houthis, without the Islahis, and without the tribes. Bringing them together to understand their interests and fears is vital to achieving real stability in the country.”
