a war final week of a war before the ceasefire each side wants to enter the ceasefire negotiations with the upper hand and as of now i do feel the houthis are surprisingly we didn't expect saudi invasion of yemen but for the houthis to invade deep into dazan, 60 to to 70 kilometers into dazan and still continue this is a serious issue and i feel saudi arabia must deal with this seriously before it gets out of hand. >> former middle east analysis atanalysisat the u.s. state department. he feels the issue can only end through dialogue. >> i think if the last two months has shown the

maybe happened here. nobody is trying to understate what happened in ramadi. and certainly nobody is happy what happened there. it was a tactical defeat. we understand that, prime minister abadi has talked about that. but that's far from saying that the strategy is unsound that it's not working. actually in truth if you look at the last nine or ten months that we have been operating with this
