situation in yemen wasn't complicated enough protests have now broken out in the south of the country with the south and transitional council supposedly backed by the united arab emirates calling for a popular uprising to restore independence of south yemen is yemen had it into complete collapse with hope not through the i think the. situation is very serious and deteriorating by the day because no serious action has been taken by either the government of yemen or by the international community and the sponsors of the peace in yemen and because of the loss of direction and loss of ability to and that is turned really the basis of all these conflicts and. the many layers and the conflict. situation is deteriorating and will continue to do so yes unfortunately the issue of the

demonstrations and the issue of the humanitarian issues are very serious at the moment but. i think they are already flexion of the was a loss of hope both and the solution coming forward and then into the to hostilities in the conflict that exists now in the country so how does the emirate support for the separatists go along with the united arab emirates military backing of press and how does government in the fight against the rebels how can they support what is called the legitimate government and at the same time a rebel group which is fighting against it. i think basically this is that reflection on unfortunately of the lack of direction of both the transitional council and the government because basically the government and the transitional council know that the southern problem issue has been addressed in the national dialogue and that proposals for the solutions were put on the table and were agreed

upon and therefore i think what people have to do know is to return to the outcome of the. comprehensive test taken place in two thousand and fourteen and there is really the recommendations made by. majority of political parties and governmental organization one sort of thing many of the conflicts that since two thousand and fifteen so the region that his has occupy iraq the corresponds to the former north yemen and the separatists and audience are calling for the return of south yemen those areas are very different different terrain religion history why not just lack the region split and go their separate ways when i think it's just a matter of separate ways i think the unity of human was an aspiration to all yemenis and i think the i'm uneasy as they have united the country in one thousand

nine hundred to find ways to dissolve the the reasons for the dissent in the south or by the who sees. the issue i think is that neither of those who go there who sees all of the separatists in the south have the right to determine what the people of human want i think if anybody want to be a permanent and complete sense of solution they have to sit around the table with the if they want to change anything of the. national dialogue outcome i think that everybody will come to discuss how this can be done how to do these all of the causes of the dissent and how to rectify and the mistakes that have taken place but neither the who these or the. because. the southerners can say that we had to present everybody in the north or in the south

so yemen which has been there for years has used a situation to take large parts of the south can the south or yemenis take care of the situation on their own right now even though the coalition forces are helping to battle al qaeda is it still a strong as ever. because you mean it is a song i think it is you know just waiting for an abortion if you to see the. country fragment to take advantage of that fragmentation the what's happening already as a result of the war and conflict between the political parties and the leadership in order political parties this has resulted really in a situation which seems to need to fragmentation and this is what al qaida and other terrorist groups are waiting for so the better for all of these political parties really to get together to see how they prevent this frame in taishan in

order to be able to confront the different types of militias including the terrorist groups so the coalition is mounting an offensive that the only port left in his hands to secede it press is writing that cutting to the south the ocean will mean famine death for millions why does the coalition resort to something so medieval as a flood located in the side of. well as you know i think bouquets of oil has been unfortunately and successful. they actually have their impact on the very poor and of the. majority of the people who are who live on that. it's not a blockade only if you look at the situation in yemen what's making it worse is that. most of the government employees in the country have not received studies or marginal part of their salaries for the last two years this had really to the

starvation added to the humanitarian crisis and. this has nothing to really to do with the blockade it is to do with the management of the country's resources by both the un saw the light in the north and by the government in the south so this outlet forces have been accused by the. the u.n. of causing enormous civilian suffering the united arab emirates state minister for foreign affairs said that war isn't clean our operation isn't clean so i talked to emery's pollen and speaker and she told me that civilian deaths happen by mistake and that the coalition forces are trying to avoid them but then why are there so many are they not trying too hard or do you think they really just accept the war isn't clean and there's going to be there's just going to be collateral damage and thats it. well i think for sure i think there is collateral damage but at the same time i think they increase the number of this collateral damage make concern about

the capabilities in the use of these. destruction weapons that are being used in the war by both sides in the i'm and unfortunately i think what's needed nobody really has to. look at the. human rights council report to allies it and take the steps really to see how one can. at least reduce if look if we cannot prevent the damage to the to the country and and more harm to the people of yemen today delicious forces have occupied most of yemeni ports and now there was the separatist trouble in additon the most important port of they were at sea it's a coalition planted just control the soudan to pose a arabian peninsula and the state of yemen as a whole isn't much of a concern here or does it look like a conspiracy theory. where. you know everything is possible really when you look at the situation and the policies and the strategies that are being implemented in

yemen i think what's needed now i think is for the united nations security council is to look at the situation and see really what what the object of about all that's taking place in yemen unfortunately the united nations security council in its approach to yemen is only to listen to the special envoys reports every month or two months and then the representatives will make their own i mean that imminent to be presented to the security council would make their statements which are always that it be to do be due to that and of course the condemned human. attacks on him civilians the they also talk very about their concerns about the humanitarian crisis in the country and then they will declare their support for the

special envoy but nothing materialized said the end of it. no it isn't russians that are mandatory either to end the war or to direct the political solution for the hostilities in the conflict in yemen the un envoy on gehman mark hazmat with every participant of the conflict including the south and separatists what are the chances that all sides can be at least brought to a common table and i don't mean instant peace but at least some coming occasion can the un how can the nice do it. i think you must remember that every party in the conflict in yemen have their. what is their concerns and they also have their red lines and unless the political solution is comprehensive is it is

a negotiated settlement in which all about is it's all inclusive nothing will be achieved no one can achieve a. an end to the conflict and therefore the special envoy has really to address in whatever final proposer of an end of the war agreement he has to address these fears of the yemenis but he should also remember that the yemenis every side of them will accuse the that they cannot make the decision because they are under the influence of one of the. those and involved in the proxy war in yemen. this complicates things and therefore he therefore he has a need to also see what the concerns and the worries about. the countries involved in this proxy war on how to ensure that this

agreement for a peace settlement addresses their concerns as well. unless this happens don't think there will be much progress. take a short break right now and we'll be back with dr i will back her up there a lot i'll create a former foreign minister again i'm talking about the situation in the war torn country. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of

the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see if and. when the role may just manufacture consent to step into public wealth. when the ruling class is to protect themselves. when the final larry go around to lift only the one percent. to ignore middle of the room sick news. to the real news. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be newlin the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing

the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we more executing innocent people is terrifying there's just no really hasn't been that we hear even many of the dems families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace it's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. you know world of big partisan movies a lot of us and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the. door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical

thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now watching closely watching the hawks. and we're back with dr ablow back her. hair be former foreign minister of yemen discussing the war in yemen and what can be done to put an end to it. so dr the u.n. peace talks in september failed because they his didn't show up what should be a promise a who a say so they actually start talking and settle this as

a coalition of an interested in that or do they want a military victory first. i think the best one to answer this question is the special envoy who knew exactly what happened why the. did not participate in the. geneva consultations. but in my mind i think that. the geneva consultations looked. continuation of the previous ones and maybe nobody took them very seriously this is a personal view the way that it was in the negotiations with. the there were some company officials in the travel of the hoses and the. delegate to if you need a. real. need i think. spatially boy can also the question

why does the arab coalition really want in the end they say that they're fighting for peace and stability and against iran surely after and if it is over they will demand payment what kind of payment can they ask for what do you think. you know i think that they are going to. doing it for free you know they are waiting for payment i think they have. certainly their worries about the security about threats from yemen. as the believe that iran. would have a stronghold in yemen and this is why i think as i said. with the special envoy has a duty to understand what are the concerns and what is of all of the. coalition a coalition continues but this is not the end of the story he has all sorts understand what is the concerns and the what he is of the none of the

members of the coalition countries about the situation of human so they his days have long range missiles that are capable of hitting the united arab emirates and saudi arabia cities united nations security council resolution to deescalate calls for their militia to give them up but can you really expect them to do that i mean they're already outmanned and outgunned their enemies are backed by the west so this they they're afraid that if they give up myself they want have any leverage and will just be killed how do you make them disarm voluntarily. i think the this on any. issue and the would throw away from the cities and old the military speaks of. resolving the conflict with all issues. discussed can be uncivil the indic way to go she asians in their way of a number of solutions that has been built and even the roadmap for that

implementation and i think if people look back at these the records and try to extract from them the proposal as to it will meet for disarmament for withdraw as for own and oversee that would not in a way that to me. be assure all parts of the country that they are getting their right in government and in and running their affairs i think that we have learned a lot i think since two tours two thousand and eleven to know that there are many mistakes before so two thousand but we made even more mistakes after two thousand and eleven and it is time for us now to stop the conflict to sit around the table give concessions get our main concern to the people of yemen to the twenty five or twenty nine million people now who are starving who are dying because of the war

and because of the. core the selfishness of the political leadership so when the war broke out there they were just to conflicting sides to have a government and the histories now there's the rebels and the south are in relation and it is forces loyal to the late president salih al qaeda has to appen to mention left the country more fractured than it was before is down on a way to becoming the next libya rate maybe even worse what i think sisterly i think the coalition will lead the country more fractured and actually start until the parties that they want to to eliminate. so president hadi on whose behalf the coalition is fighting isn't even based in yemen he lives in saudi capital riyadh al-jazeera reported in two thousand and seventeen that he is under house arrest how independent is he really how can he rule the country if he isn't there physically i mean at least president salih was on the frontline taled and where the soldiers

don't think it is important whether he's in prison or or not what's important is here the allies is as he claims and the world community. insist on that he is the president of the of human and therefore he has to adhere to his responsibilities as president of yemen and look at the interests of the yemeni people and i think the interests of the many people now is to for him to be a major role in ending the conflict and getting yemen into stability and . could be considered process but do you think that writing on the shelves of foreign forces into the country is a good foundation for a future stability how long can hardy realistically last once his backers win and go home especially saying how he was overthrown once already. i think again this is

part of the. once ability of the special envoy to the international community how as i say that that has to be got to tease for all parties to two feet to feel that it's this settlement is going to safeguard their interests would be if it is in c. and the government of national unity it once established is to go to get the country through a transitional period that would then and in a. political. process for a complete solution. to first thank you very much for your insight for talking to dr abu bakar up to the former foreign minister of yemen discussing the humanitarian and political disaster in the country and that's it for this edition of so if you can call i will see you next.
