Newsman, written by: Dr.Mahmoud Al-Salmi:

Whoever bets on a peaceful solution to the conflict in Yemen is actually dreaming. Yemen never knows a peaceful solution. The issue that the hand cannot solve in Yemen is solved by the Janabiyah, and which the Janabiyah cannot solve is solved by the gun. 

We know the situation of Yemen completely, and we know the political, religious and tribal forces that control it, and we know how the issues of previous conflicts ended, one side wins everything and one side loses everything.

There is no such thing in Yemen as a peaceful solution or compromise. If such solutions were available, the 1994 war would not have erupted immediately after the signing of the covenant, and Sanaa would not have fallen after the signing of the National Dialogue Document and the Peace and Partnership Agreement, and the war would not have erupted in Shuqrah after signing of the Riyadh Agreement, and many other examples.

The only solution that the coalition countries can make after they failed to defeat Al-Houthi is to properly restructure the legitimacy, and build a strong state in the south, in addition to the liberated areas from the north, that can create a military and sectarian balance with Al-Houthi, and prevent them from swallowing up all of Yemen, until the circumstances are changing in Sanaa.
