5:30 pm
in the south of the country where the south or 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. i hope no three i think the. situation is very serious and deteriorating by the day because you know 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 has turned to the basics of all these conflicts and. the many layers and the conflicts since the 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
5:31 pm
moment but. i think they are already flexion of the was the most of the hope of a new solution coming forward and then into the hostilities in the cove 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 the 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
5:32 pm
upon and therefore i think what people have to do know is to return to the outcome of the. comprehensive dialogue that has taken place in two thousand and fourteen and addressed really the recommendations made by the majority of political parties and governmental organization on sort of in many of the conflicts that the today it is since two thousand and fifteen so the region that his he is occupy iraq the corresponds to the former north gammon and the separatists out in are calling for their return out south yemen those areas are very different different terrain religion history why not just lack the region split and go their separate ways well i think it's just a matter of separate ways i think the unity of yemen was an aspiration to all yemenis and i think the image is as they have united the country in one thousand nine hundred to find ways to dissolve the the reasons for the
5:33 pm
dissent in the south or by the horses. the issue i think is that neither of the who or the who sees all of the separatists in the south have the right to determine what the people of human want i think if people want really a permanent and complete sense of solution they have to sit around the table with their if they want to change anything of the. a national dialogue outcome i think. but he will come to discuss how this can be done how to do these all of the causes of dissent and how to defy and the mistakes that have taken place but neither the who these or the. because. the so the notice can say that we have it isn't anybody either in the north or in the south so yemen
5:34 pm
which has been there for years has used the situation to take large parts of the south can the south and 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 meant 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 you know any ideas that is out 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 for a moment ation in order to be able to confront the different types of militias
5:35 pm
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. the actually have that 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 salaries 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
5:36 pm
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 sat that war isn't clean our operation isn't clean so i talked to him or his palm 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 see if they really just accept the war isn't clean and there's going to be there's just going to be collateral damage and that's it. well i think for sure i think it is collateral damage but at the same time i think they increase the number of these collateral damage make concern about the capabilities in the use of these. mass destruction weapons that are being used
5:37 pm
in the war by both sides in human unfortunately i think what's needed nobody is to . look at the. human rights council report to. take the steps that you need to see whoa when can. at least to do so if we cannot prevent more damage to the to the country and and more harm to the people of yemen today girlish and forces have occupied most of yemeni ports and now there was the separatist trouble in additon the most important port of the red sea it's a coalition plan to just control the south in tipis the 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 to you. well. 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
5:38 pm
united nations security council is to look at the situation and see really what what the objective 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 that of course every month or two months and then the representatives will make their own i mean but imminent to present if the security council would make their statements which are always that if you to do be to to and of course the condemned human. attacks on who are 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 materializes at the end of it. no it is
5:39 pm
a russians that are demanded to meet either to end the war or to direct the political solution for the hostilities in the conflict in yemen the u.n. 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 i mean i don't mean instant peace but at least some coming occasion can the u.n. 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
5:40 pm
achieved no one can achieve a. an end to the conflict and that 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 other is 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 company case things and therefore he therefore he has a need to also see what your concerns and what he's about. the countries involved in this process your own how to ensure that this agreement for a peace settlement addresses their concerns. and this happens i don't think there
5:41 pm
will be much progress. we'll take a short break right now and we'll be back with dr i will back her up to be former foreign minister again i'm talking about the situation in the war torn country. this is critical. to the heat actually physically pulled it out of the ground you have well.
5:42 pm
a lot of money with the oil and with that comes. a lot of a lot of people from all over the country. if you don't make a hundred thousand dollars a year. as a minimum there's an issue. here maybe. they were all sixteen hours of a hard work well work was not easy. and so they want to relieve their stress of how do they relieve the stress these men that outweigh. and of that comfort these many sacks. people have been murdered up here people been raped there are massive drug issues up here you have a venue have everything else that comes along with money. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s.
5:43 pm
has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent from august last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business show you can afford to miss the one and only boom bust. when a loved one is murdered it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it means no in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one
5:44 pm
convict respond dennison the idea that we were executing innocent people was terrifying who's just no really hasn't been that we were even many of the times 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 that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. washington. ambassador to nato threatens to take out russian missiles and the u.s. interior secretary threatens a naval blockade of russia is the trump doctrine finally revealed.
5:45 pm
and we're back with dr ablow back her abdulla former foreign minister of yemen discussing the war and yeah man and what can be done to put an end to it. so dr the u.n. peace talks in september failed because they didn't show up what should be
5:46 pm
a promise or who say so they actually start talking and settle this as a coalition have been interested in that or do they want a military of the very first. i think the best one to answer this question is the special envoy who would knew exactly what happened why the. he's did not participate in the. geneva could consult haitians let it in my mind i think it over use the. the the geneva consultations were looked at as a continuation of the previous ones and maybe nobody took him very seriously this is a personal view and the way that it was in the negotiations with. the there were some company fissions in the travel of the post-season the. delegate to if you need a. real. need i think the special envoy can also the question
5:47 pm
what is 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 know that they are doing it for free and either they are waiting for payment i think they have. certainly there are 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 earlier where the special envoy has really to understand what are the concerns and what he is of of the. coalition a coalition countries but this is not the end of the story he has all sorts
5:48 pm
understand what is the concerns and the what he is of the nine out of the members of the coalition countries about the situation of human so they his they said. long range missiles are capable of hitting the united arab emirates and saudi arabia siddhis united nations security council resolution to deescalate calls for the 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 obviously 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 army. issue and the withdrawal from the cities and all the military speaks of dissolving the conflict. we're all issues to have discussed comprehensive the in the kuwaiti goshi asians and there were
5:49 pm
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 what we're made for disarmament for withdraw as for own and oversee that would not know what it will toward parties would be satisfied with them but i think it is a starting point for people to negotiate and give concessions on all of these issues because unless these issues are resolved the the hostilities will continue we in the g.c.c. have always see that long peace and no stability in yemen will continue if there are many shows in the country of any type let alone having also the militias of the terrorist groups. so this is a real challenge that has to be addressed so are you aware and are still
5:50 pm
a part of ex-president salish general people's congress he was an ally. and then they start fighting and then he was killed what are sallust people doing now are they joining the saudi backed travel how do you are staying with the who says well let me tell you something i always. get disappointed really when join the list and continues talk about side. i was a leader of the g.p.c. but we are members of u.b.c. are not offside us. u.b.c. is a national party with three million members in the country the largest party in the country and the most trusted bharti in the country. relation with the horses started after the. the worst of the coronation started and we were against the war so this is what united us with the with the horses but
5:51 pm
subsequently with the horses did not adhere to the many agreements that we have with them including how the political council that's how the government how about the with the many of the government institutions side felt it was time for him to break this relationship with with the with the horses and this is what being is connected into the. conflict between the sea and the horses so no i think we owe it was engine in b.c. is that we are working on ensuring that g.p.c. remains united to face the challenges and the. and there very serious attempts to try to break it down and to fragment it i think we are united to achieve that that will we have a long way to do it because we are confronting
5:52 pm
a lot of problems in this process. surely are and i remember a former president once saying that ruling jam and it's like dancing on the hads of snakes that's his quote how can any kind of stability in such a place be reached where alliances are always shifting and everyone seems right to fight everyone else well i think that's a very serious important question i think what we need but he really is when we draft in the company his if the segment is that we understand that we have to eliminate all these today acts so that no new dog will come and see to. dancing on the heads of the cynics that this can be his if agreement for peace will ensure that it is really a partnership in ruling the country that is a fearless in distribution of with fairness in developing
5:53 pm
a democratic and the federal state in a way that to me. assure all parts of the country that gets you there right in government and in and winning their affairs i think that we have learnt 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 of those two thousand and eleven and it is time for us now to solve the conflict to sit on 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 there were just two conflicting sides to how the government and the histories now there's the rebels and the south's are in relation
5:54 pm
and it is forces loyal to the late president salih al-qaeda has to. arab intervention left the country more fractured than it was before is yemen on a way to becoming the next libya rate maybe even worse what i think system i think the coalition will do with the three more fractured and to really step into 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 front line tailed and with his soldiers i don't think it is important to him that he's in prison or or not what's important is he the allies this as he claims and as a community. insist on that he is to the president
5:55 pm
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 get in yemen into stability and. could be consideration 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 heidi 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 responsibility of the special envoy in the international community how as i say that that has to be got to tease for all parties to two feet to feel that
5:56 pm
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 july the former foreign minister of yemen discussing the humanitarian and political disaster in the country and that's it for this edition of stuff and call i will say next.
