claim comes as fighting intensifies in the capital between the whole thesis and their former allies forces loyal to the ousted president ali abdullah saleh party issued a statement in the past hour saying welcomes aphids to reconcile with. and he's criticized what he calls saudi aggression against yemen how the hawks are a force. in the alliance that control the yemeni capital sana'a was unexpected as it has been violent. dozens have been killed or wounded since the fighting began on wednesday between forces loyal to alstead present. and his face. now salah is calling on yemenis to rise against his former partners. and i call on all the yemeni people in all the cities all the provinces all the districts and neighborhoods to take a united stand to defend the revolution and the republic against this group who have been irresponsibly playing with yemeni people for the past three years robbing

the institutions and breaking into government buildings only seek revenge on the revolution and the republic. has called for talks with the saudi led coalition on condition they stop their attacks if the crippling blockade and allow for more humanitarian support coalition statement welcome sollars move saying it would redeem yemen from the evils of iranian terrorist and sectarian militias return it to an arab pure and natural fold but the loosies who are backed by terror own say they still have support from members of silos political party and addressed directly. we used to praise your position in the past even though it was one of words only which came with its fair share of backstabbing disappointment discouragement disobedience and many other problems remain patient but that wasn't enough for you shame on you a big shame. silas struck an alliance with the who things after

a popular uprising ended his thirty three year rule in two thousand and twelve he was succeeded by his deputy after months so heidi who fled to saudi arabia after he take over in johnny two thousand and fifteen and it was there he called an emergency meeting on saturday to discuss the situation of. the saudi led coalition has been fighting to restore hardie to power meanwhile salah says he wants a quick end to the conflict. which is a volved into the world's largest humanitarian crisis. the regional analysts believe salah is personally motivated and is looking for a future role for him and possibly members of his family in government whatever the case this latest violence is threatening to destabilize yemen. saudi led coalition began its military campaign in yemen in march two thousand and fifteen but after hoofy rebels and supporters of the formally diabolus pushed out

the government of president abdurrahman saw had the. president for thirty three years he was forced to resign though in february two thousand and twelve after months of unrest he handed power over to his deputy of eighteen years had the by the had these time in power was relatively short in january two thousand and fifteen who threw rebels took over government buildings in the capital forcing having to flee the saudi arabia or how the is still the internationally recognized leader of yemen and the coalition has been fighting to restore him to power. his movement largely promotes yemen's a the share minority and is backed by iran they support salesforce is there's been fighting between the two sides in recent days and craig is a systems professor at the defense studies department at king's college in london he says it's unlikely the thieves have the capabilities to fire

a missile towards the u.a.e. . i think this is a media stunt a narrative stunned trying to you know wind everybody up and showing that they have the intent to very much disrupt which in the end i don't think they have the intent and b. they don't have the capability because they would need a ballistic missile to do that and that would be a game changer had they fired a ballistic missile too as i would that would have completely changed the environment in yemen bringing other people to the table including the americans in the west because that would be completely unacceptable i do think that there is an opportunity now if. gets embraced by specially the a mirage in the saudis to come out on top and play their you know be their protege be their proxy to fight that bring the war at least in sanaa to an end it won't bring the whole war in yemen to an end because there were these will just go back into grill your mode and insurgency mode and continue fighting in the north in the same way that they have done pretty two thousand and one pre two thousand and fifteen which means the yemen war won't be solved but the saudis can go and say

look we solved we we liberated sanaa because it's no longer under the reins iran iranian proxy control yemen has always been a dance on a snake's head is set himself so lines are shifting quite quickly and it doesn't really matter as solid as someone who is now been dealing with all different sides in order to stay in power he's the one who seems to be the most sustainable petron in this country of different power bases he was able to work with these at some point working with the iraqis working with the with the saudis you know he's using whatever is necessary to stay in power and he behind the scenes even though he was one of the guys who was in was in front and was supposed to be the president of the country the he was still in the back salih was still in the back pulling the strings. u.s. president donald trump has it again insisted there was no collusion between his campaign and russia during last year's election he tweeted that wiley five is national security advisor for lying to the vice president and the f.b.i. for michael's flynn's actions were lawful flynn admits he lied about contacting the
