The Nature of Saudis' Hostility to Houthis' of Yemen

Saturday 15 February 2014
The Nature of Saudis' Hostility to Houthis' of Yemen

Alwaght-Crisis in Yemen has intensified in a suspicious manner by approaching Syrian army to its final victory over Syrian armed rebels funded and supported by Saudi Arabia and some of the Arabic countries in Persian Gulf.
Al-hashed tribe and its leader, Hamid Al-Ahmar involved in the process of Yemeni national dialogue are fighting in several fronts against Houthis. Without considering the conditions of two opposite sides in these two fronts in this country, there is a doubt to decrease or increase the military operations against Houthis, who are against the current process of national dialogue in Yemen .
Although the national dialogue in Yemen is running out of time after ten months, Yemenis are facing the current crisis. Defining a federal system in Yemen government, determining a two committees for the number of states and for writing Yemen's Constitution, and supporting President Abd Rabbu Mansur Al-hadi with some changes of  ministers  should be considered the initial priorities for the political parties and the government of Yemen according to the document of Yemen's national dialogue .
The congress of national dialogue ended, while Yemeni government supported by Saudi Arabia and Ansar Allah linked to Yemeni Houthis as the two main active political groups in Yemen's changes were not present at the last session of congress .
On the one hand, Houthis did not participate in the last session of National Dialogue, since Ahmed Sharafeldin as Houthis' representative was assassinated by the unknown gunman within the process of this dialogue.  On the other hand, Ansar Allah did support the national dialogue's document by publishing a formal statement
Ansar Allah offered a harsh critique of the decisions by Yemen's government in particular the issue of national security all over Yemen and its deficiencies. According to their viewpoints, the government in Yemen is incapable of administering foreign and domestic affairs. Therefore, Saudi Arabia and the like as the long-standing enemies of Yemen are trying to interfere in affairs of this country. In addition, Yemen is deprived of national security by the groups such as Al-Qaeda , Salafi, and Takfiri .
In 2011, Saudis made attempts to control the process of revolution in Yemen.  Saudi Arabia political status was directly impressed by any change in Yemen. In addition, Saudi Arabia has always funded and supported Ali Abdullah Saleh's government in six wars against Houthis in the recent years .
In last war, Saudi Arabia was directly fighting by their land and air forces against people living in northern states of Yemen in 2014. The defeat of the Saudi Arabia-supported government in Yemen was the only outcome of the imposed wars against Yemenis. Therefore, Saudis are trying to introduce Houthis as Shiites funded and supported by Iran and Hezbollah. Accordingly, on the one hand, they announce that their recent war was against Iran, Hezbollah and Houthis.  On the other hand, they are trying to provoke the anti-Shiite religious groups to start a war against Mideast Shiites .
Saudi interference in Yemen indicates that Saudi Arabia acts like a father for all Arabic countries in particular for Yemen at 21st century. According to Saudis, each change in Arabic countries may have a significant impact on their country, but any change in Yemen will lead to a concrete change in Saudi Arabia. Insecure borders and instability of Yemen's borders with Saudi Arabia after 2000 years has geopolitically worried Saudi Arabia .
Saudi Arabia is under the unprecedented pressure due to the close relation of Houthis, living in northern part of Yemen with Shiites, living in Jizan and Asir as the regions of Saudi Arabia. This relation seriously endangers oil resources & oil industry in Saudi Arabia , and consequently Al-Saud Kingdom
These days, Saudi Arabia faces an embarrassing defeat in Syria. Accordingly, Saudi Arabia tries at least to be winner in Yemen war, but no victory is attained yet due to the nature of efforts of Houthi independent seekers .
