Over the course of two days, Aidaroos Al-Zubaidi has recorded remarkable political activity since his arrival in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, last Tuesday.
Al-Zubaidi met in Riyadh, in separate meetings, with the ambassadors of major countries: the United States of America, the United Kingdom, France and China, in addition to Australia and New Zealand.
In these meetings, Al-Zubaidi focused on several files, on top of which was the economic situation and the repercussions of stopping oil exports from the ports of the liberated governorates as a result of the Houthi terrorist militia attacks on them, calling for urgent international and regional intervention to save the collapsed economy.
In meetings with ambassadors of Western countries, Al-Zubaidi also touched on the intransigence shown by the Houthi group in refusing to extend the UN armistice for more than 3 months, in addition to the battle waged by the southern forces against terrorist organizations.
This political activity of Al-Zubaidi in Riyadh is seen by observers as an indication of a Saudi attempt to end the political stalemate experienced by the Presidential Leadership Council, its affiliated bodies and state institutions, in light of a number of threats facing the situation in the liberated areas, and casting a political shadow over the role of the coalition in Yemen.
The stalemate imposed by the state of conflict within the components of the Leadership Council and the attempt of some of them, particularly the Brotherhood, to impede the council from proceeding with its main goal of correcting the mistakes of the previous stage, and preventing any change measures in the structures of state institutions that imposed their control over them during the era of former President Hadi.
The state of conflict created by the Muslim Brotherhood coincided with a dangerous escalation carried out by the Houthi group by targeting the oil export ports in the liberated governorates, which led to the complete cessation of the export process about two months ago, which threatens with catastrophic economic repercussions, mainly threatening the ability of the Presidential Council to manage the situation in the liberated areas.
In addition to these economic repercussions, the growing fears of a return to violent fighting in light of the intransigence shown by the Houthi group in refusing to renew the UN armistice that ended on the first of last October, despite all UN, international and regional efforts and attempts to prevent this.
The most recent of these efforts was the two visits that a delegation from the Sultanate of Oman made to Sana'a within less than a month, to persuade the Houthi group to renew the UN armistice, amid talk to media close to the group of the failure of the Omani efforts.
Political circles fear that the Houthi group may resort to torpedoing the armistice and resuming the war to escape the growing popular tension in the areas under its control, as a result of the fall of the pretext of war to justify its suppression and plundering of Yemeni revenues and funds.
These Houthi threats are in addition to what is practiced by the Brotherhood in obstructing the efforts to normalize the situation in the liberated areas and unite forces against the Houthi group, and the political and military tension in the regions of Hadramout Valley is the most prominent example of this, in addition to the state of rebellion in Al-Jawf against the decision to appoint a new governor for it.
The matter did not stop at that, but the Brotherhood escalated politically against the coalition in a dangerous way by organizing the so-called "Peace and Democracy Conference" in the American capital, Washington, by the Brotherhood, Tawakkol Karman, and it seemed clear that it was harnessing it to attack the role of the Arab coalition in Yemen.
Threats and risks surround the situation in the liberated areas, requiring the Arab Coalition to activate the performance of the Presidential Leadership Council and normalize the situation in the liberated areas to stand up to Houthi threats and blackmail by the Brotherhood, based on the real forces, led by the Southern Transitional Council.
