saudi arabia phrases missile attacks strikes and other threats from iranian supplied forces in multiple countries we're going to continue to support and help saudi arabia defended sovereignty and its territorial integrity and its people. is the war in yemen is it about is that end in sight if you have a tight experiences stories to know what a new chip you can jump right into the comment section be part of today's program how a residence in center in yemen reacting to this news take a look. at a gun in there now learn i think because we don't trust what the americans say at all because they participated in a part of the war we can't trust them if they want us to trust them they should stop the war directly and immediately they participated in the war with saudi

arabia so how can we believe them now not through the presence of the problem with . this is the start of peace and good for yemen the most important thing is that the americans are honest if they're really positive people they should respond to the demands of the yemeni people to stop this war the 1st step is to compensate for everything destroyed in yemen losses and saws lance properties factories everything . passionate he's from down on the ground i'm excited to introduce our lineup so that they can share their piece with us well after a good to see you again welcome back to the stream remind our audience who you are and what it is. so my name is. and i work as am a researcher human rights watch and based and so it nice to have the summer is always great to get your analysis on the stream welcome back

remind our audience who you are and what you do. thank you for me i am summoned him danny and i am i am an analyst i've been working on yemen for the last 11 years at least i was born and raised in yemen and i spent 13 years working in washington d.c. and what i do is i help decipher what's happening in yemen so this is why i. say we have. the excellent so why we can never have too many analysts on the stream good to have you here thank you for joining us today tell our audience who you are what you do thank you for me for having me my name. i am any journalist any political analyst and i research or or know the ration supremacy cast aspect of the in many conflicts which i became aware of when i started my graduate studies at harvard law school in 2007.

guess i'm really intrigued by by what happened what went through your mind when president joe biden and now foreign policy priorities have a look here this looks so grand from the white house remarks by president biden america's place in the well will difference does it even make stuff about what the u.s. is doing in terms of their foreign policy and yemen. it does make a huge difference it is an important step to top of the. american support of the. saudi coalition but to the question is is it in enough step usually when it comes to a conflict. people who broker peace deals all of the parties involved. between the choices off doing the right thing or doing the necessity think and this

is stage i think the biden administration is at the stage of the necessity thing but what i'm concerned about is that there's going been a steady thing. in the not to their right to a so for example but evoking the. designation as a terrorist organization it is the necessary thing considering the humanitarian access and consequences of such a nation that. constrained humanitarian aid. giving the who with these this. revoking without putting any pressure on them at least to have to give full access for the international organizations to deliver aid. is considered by so many a many days as the buying and administration given that he is a green light and that is what happened with them right after that evocation attack and saudi arabia

a. military campaign against. so i want to show you something because we shared today subject with our audience have a look hale my laptop we tweeted out what the subject was we to it's our president joe biden he's tweaks to foreign policy and then we got these take them good name is better than gold it is a good move because frequent weapons supplied to those coalitions is what is escalating the situation there by killing will continue that is one of our audience is take some up thoughts. my thoughts are is that the binding and mr ation had chosen to define itself with what's going to happen in yemen that's quite interesting because yemen went from a file that was attached to saudi arabia and the iranian saudi proxy were to be in right and center in the middle so we're going to see and hear a lot more about yemen because the winds and the strait should make sure that it's at the forefront now what's what's frozen as approximately

$36500000000.00 worth of weapons of course we're all talking about a temporary freeze that's under review this may not hold forever and i highly suspect that after there isn't an ounce cease fire in yemen that holds that the u.s. is likely to continue sign arms and weapons to saudi arabia now what we're seeing is that the by that administration is responding to 6 years. to terry in lobbying in washington d.c. there are more of the healthy doesn't nation as a foreign terrorist organization goes straight to the fact that yemeni people are starving and there's a massive humanitarian crisis there so the move is not going easy on the who these as much as it is a humanitarian lens and i think what biden is trying to say here is that he wants to employ diplomacy he wants to play the diplomacy in the arms are at doesn't mean that he's going to just switch a few things and there will be a cease fire in yemen everybody knows that it's very complicated and i highly

suspect that anybody working with the president by then is that naive. after i have to play this this comment to you it is from the right he belongs to a group reprieve the illegal action and g.m. should know they work they defend people suffering from human rights abuses why he has a very clear idea was happening right now with the u.s. foreign policy have a listen for. the by then of the mistress and decision to revoke the hootie that ignition was a piece on a stick who views will not receive that's a good will but rather they will see the sign of weakness after all the war rewarded without giving any concessions in fact the following day the launched the fire the ballistics decide on the city of morrow a city that is home to 1800000 residents and launched a huge offensive on the city as many people don't know this but this conflict is

not one sided stopping of this arming to one side when leaving the other side fully armed will not achieve peace. first i want to applaud the all fame all female panel that you're having just. or all female panel and. such as an important topic and i think it's very complicated to discuss this and just 20 minutes i think the 6 years war in yemen has. divided the country tag men to the country and i think what that is saying could apply to many are there tax shuns in the country as well so as we speak there are. violations violation. lozzo for violations committed by many many armed groups not only the 40

armed groups but everyday i am. i get to know about a new armed group there are whether detaining people or are committing other form of violations against civilians in the country in different parts and yemen and you know in the noise in the south and the east across all yemen so i think the u.n. administration position is just it just gives us. like a small glimpse of like what needs to really to be done towards this conflict but. we're saying this is not enough we need more than this there are multiple armed groups and the country and it's just very difficult to see how you can really gather all of these groups and one table and discuss the end of the fighting so it's just a very complicated situation. i'm not going to help the complicated situation

because i'm going to go to you tube right now has 3 different questions i'm going to give to all of you guessed i want instant responses not long analysis instant responses you cheap excellent questions able yemen people should be less free of interference from outsiders so they can sort out their own mess period suffer instant response brief one place. i agree 100 percent that is what should be done. as a matter of that is not what is happening on the ground. saudi arabia is yemen is considered when it comes to the american foreign policy is considered as a saudi issue and this is one of the quarter reasons of the conflict biden said in his statement to the war has to end but then said we would protect saudi arabia sovereignty the integrity of its territory and its people he should use the same

sentence in protecting this over in t. off to be a many state and it's the i me to pittodrie and the integrity of the a many people might risk the american administration not considering yemen as a saudi matter but as you noted the person on you tube commented it's a happy if yemen should be left to its own people maybe maybe the conflict right. now this is eunice yoon and i'm going to give this one to you to. biden's announcement it's pure political rhetoric will the u.s. needs to do a stop in forcing the air and sea blockade on yemen that's not as simple as that yes the bill kate has to end by the saudi that question why the whole. tactics like and as and even to wear it around madam it's just it's not

a simple as that and there are no cane hands and the conflict in yemen. every party has responsibility and ending in the suffering of the civilians so this was really interesting and we get this all has every time we have an international situation where there's a big conflict and people care about it what is in the u.n. to stop this. oh i don't know i wouldn't count on the un to stop this but i think the un can bring in everybody's support and kind of. work together to stop it what we've seen in yemen and so a massive role for the un especially in 20122013 when the un moderated and national dialogue conference it was supposed to help yemen avoid the conflict that it's and now we've had 3 different u.n. envoy since the war started and the current u.n. envoy just visited iran for the 1st time yesterday so in a sense it's good that he is putting all the effort that he can will bring forward

but what the u.n. can do is very limited because it has to be backed by the e.u. by the u.s. by the u.k. by all these powerful nations that can kind of push their all of the u.n. forward this is just such a desperate situation for civilians in yemen have a look here on my laptop this is from the u.n. f.p.a. united nations population fund of the years of conflict yemen remains the world's newest humanitarian crisis is a 2021 a pill if we're being very candid after about what is happening down on the ground right now how would you describe the situation. life has become unbearable for the millions of civilians and we know that from our work and human rights watch of the parties to the conflict how exaggerated the already. situation even before the war yemen was regarded as the poorest arab nation so the

the conflict has. the country. armed groups are responsible on aids obstruction especially in the north part of yemen where the largest portion of the population are living are other parties within the yemeni government and there the u.a.e. backed forces and the south or store are responsible of 8 of the structure so it's a manmade disaster the human tatty and crisis any and then it's not a natural disaster it's not. something that the civilians tourists to happen it's like a systematic attack says and practices abusive practices by the parties to the conflict that led to this human crisis. we

spoke earlier to julia moyes she's the yemen deputy country guy writes if the save the children this is what she told us have a listen hum. yemen's job until you try it into the last 6 years of war to schools and hospitals if you have tax money have to watch as their brothers and sisters starve to death and not only enemies based on the prospect of armageddon at least $20000.00 children are at risk of starvation and honest humanitarian workers we see the reality of the spawn of the in place as the signature of the welcomes steps from the latest status because they were unable or most amount of monetary you better access children and families in desperate need for yemen so most of all is concrete steps in peace because this is the only thing that we're really sure i want the future even to serve. safa isn't it possible to disagree with that what

would you act to lasting peace what i would want to get out. yeah i think how we get there is the most important question and to answer that in that we need to start with truth telling the biden administration i mean what is happening now in the united states is exactly what is happening in yemen and the biden administration needs to look at t.m.i. and the in many people through the american lens the healthy. or describes them as the proud boys of the u.s. the attack of the capital was the like what's happened on september 21st 2014 so how do you negotiate with hate how do you negotiate with people and who who are ideology is mainly built on your non existence or subordination so if you want to alleviate seriously and honestly the humanitarian crisis you need to the

quote of the problem because all parties are using this crisis as a conduct of through war so whenever that is a step towards peace the whole thieves or the other parting maybe the hope is they will launch a military attack or make the humanitarian crisis worse the international community would actually need to their demands and and give them whatever they want in the in the peace process so the young man the solution the peace that is no peace no accountability without telling and the right as i said the us the premises how do you negotiate with them saudia arabia is a country that sees yemen success of the democratic experiment as an existence should threats to its more nikki so how do you trust sonia rabia

with the political process in yemen when it sees its. process as a threat to it how do you negotiate with who he is and trust them with the humanitarian. thing the humanitarian crisis when they they do not they don't not see the humanity of the others so the us has so many live ridges to push so here a b. and a who feeds they still have until may 21st i think i'm not sure about the date exactly but until me i cursedly believe that they should revoke the designation of the the who feeds because as a matter of law it's going to constrain the humanitarian aid but as a matter of reality when you approach them and negotiate with them put this struct in your bag ground that they are just like the white supremacists in the us so you need to start with like negotiating don't give them a plane chick

a white chick do whatever you want saudi arabia respect this is the in many states and the and the entity of the in many people. after going to come yeah can i add i agree with so many things that are. just mentioned and it was very interesting that she put the pattern of between what what was happening at the capitol hill and what's happening and in any amount and i i just came flashback to me what so many senators were talking about the lack of accountability in the u.s. and how the white supremacy act could repeat itself again without accountability and i think without in yemen without a justice there will not be peace and it's very important for the u.s. and the international community really to support all efforts for justice in yemen and that means that to make sure that all abusive. actors are held accountable

for what they are doing in yemen and that should be part of any conversation where we talk about the end of the war without it i think we will just continue being in this mission circle of violence and misery and pain. yes go ahead please go ahead sorry if i may interject i always notice on t.v. that we have this economy of narrative in yemen it's either war or peace and in the past we didn't want the war we you know there's the illusion that if the war ends then it's a gift to the whole thing is when in reality the war made the hoess who they are this war made them so powerful and gave them this much land they were not this powerful at the start of a war the something that we really need to remember so the continuation of the war in a sense as continuing their power and continued and their influence on the ground and

so i actually do think that the by then administration is doing the right thing by exploring diplomacy and for the for in the designation of the of the host is as a foreign terrorist organization the yemeni people don't have to pay the price of what the host is are doing there are other ways and again this is where the decline in you happens 'd you know it's not a yes or no situation you can sanction specific leaders without hurting the rest of the country and i think the the level of suffering that yemen is at this designation not only is going to cause millions of yemenis to starve and die it's actually going to make the u.s. the culprits the direct criminal of killing them and i think that's even a worse position for america to be and in the position that they are i am praying creamery sure did you know we were talking about who feel and the who has control of the of and i just want to squeeze in a little comment here because it was such a powerful and new jersey and likening them to the proud boys that is is such an

incredible way of describing them but this is recently what or who see government ministers said about peace have a listen have a look at us. now there was there do they said we're ready for peace with all of a little means providing that there be a just peace a real peace and that there are things that materialize on the ground the most important thing we want to see in the coming period is no interception of oil derivatives for the citizens no interception of food for the citizens and to start arrangements peace a cease fire and to completely lift the blockade of god willing the yemeni people will see achievements from the government in sanaa medical notes on our. sick guess we're in the last 2 minutes of this game to be in the difficult position of saying you host your final thoughts sathan summer africa about where we are now and to wrap up this conversation 30 seconds so.

i would say that the. let me frame it this way the american dream is a global train him and the american nightmare and a global nightmare the difference is to what to which extent one can pursue that dream and to which extent one can eliminate the night where yemen tomorrow by the way is the 10th and it was a city of the arab spring the yemenis are always up to the value of democracy integrate the and then that which is a promise just militias took all good the government just as not was 0 as whites on the mainland sooner aluminum drink then men who are. priced thing doesn't exactly where as the end of the show we hae you thanks and i want to share this with your fellow panelists some final thought. the final thought is that nothing is going to change overnight or cease fire in yemen does not mean peace

rebuilding yemen is going to take years the home team is are not going to suddenly change and become a peaceful group. the war is going to he's. right but i hope so much for your analysis and for helping us understand this situation that we're in right now with us foreign policy and after. you choose thanks for being part of today's show appreciate it. it's one of the most recognized sites around the world friends for support from far and wide. for the farms back home it's more than just a football club and you want to be left out of. politics and. the passion and the politics of liverpool f.c. the defiant joint. part of the farms who make football series on al-jazeera.
