hakim joins us. thank you for joining us. what is the reaction there to these latest developments?porter: the houthis are announcing that the saudis are not serious about a cease-fire because after the announcement it was ignored and the air strikes intensify even though saudi called this war as over. so they are intensifying and increasing into other locations. and saudi air strikes are not targeting targets. yesterday four schools in yemen were targeted by air strikes. so this is causing public anger and growing anger in yemen even among the lines of those who support in the first place. as long as they are targeting yemenis or schools, this will not help them in any way. >> hakim, if you could please give context to, you know, what has been said, that houthi rebels stored equipment and supplies in civilian neighborhoods, potentially in schools, is that happening from your perspective, from what you are seeing if. >> that does happen in some incidents. but not all. the schools that were attacked yesterday were all not government-owned. they were private-owned. by citizens. so the

. >> the editor-in-chief of the yemen post hakim al-masmari. with me in the studio is an advisor to the past three yemeni presidents. you take issue with something said about who it is that took over parts of the port city. before that i have taken issue about trying - hakim is trying to portray and says the fight is not only aden but all of the south. this is a very very you know dangerous propagation showing the war as if it is between south and north. it's not. the war is never between south and the north. in the other areas, the same thing is is the houthis besieged besieged. today, there is a big brigade. houthis are only a facade. they have been beaten and they could not go to save the people in aden. to go back to mooukuala, hakim knows that these people - i could name names who are linking to ali abdullah saleh. the report in the security council handed some three weeks four weeks ago. it does mention the names of the people. trying to show that this is the whole strategy of iran in the houthis. they wanted to show themselves as if they
