people inspire all the yemeni factions including the who he is to bring them together and say let's camera out an agreement if the yemenis agree with one another no power outside can destroy that no power outside can continue the war if they themselves agree with one another unfortunately right now the who are not showing that kind of political skill or leadership to inspire the country. they failed miserably as has hakim said they they are in good guerrilla movement but they're not good they're ruling. with the death of saleh you know with all that one can say any for him or against them he was a very strong leader a national figure knows no one else like now with an understand sure how he is certainly not the person to do it. so again i am not optimistic but so while we wait for an else and then. of yemen to appear i'm afraid we're just going to see more misery for the well let's hear from someone who came out mr are you optimistic or pessimistic about finding a solution in the in the near term to this this conflict and where does the blame for the continuation of it lie with the

the yemenis are the more they invite people to interfere from outside and i think that is pretty much the key problem here the problem is that yes the iraqis have their own policy towards the south of yemen the saudis have their own policy towards the north of yemen at least they pretend to have an objective to be achieved the g.c.c. as a such doesn't exist anymore there is no common g.c.c. approach there is not and then there are many other parties that are not represented by internationals the problem is also the absence of us leadership more than that even the u.s. administration to try ministration seems to be backing the saudi led coalition giving them a blank check to do whatever they deem necessary without actually trying to mediate so you have a multitude of different actors trying to thrive or of what's going on domestically and then obviously domestically you have local order you don't have a yemeni order there is no such thing as a very emanation where there is a local order that somewhat is keeping the country going but at a very very low level so i mean until people come

the yemeni population is dependent on eighty. ninety percent of the needs of the yemeni people are sustained through imports and as such. the restrictions on imports prevent the. flow of commercial goods and humanitarian aid from reaching the yemeni population so that is where things should be moving on lessening those christmas we need more we need less restrictions on imports fuel is key and central for the survival of the population in yemen fuel is essential for the running all hospitals in a health system that is faltering only forty five percent of house facilities are functioning today in yemen but fuel is also important for water water pumping stations depend on fuel. sewage treatment plants depend on fuel vehicles that collect the garbage depend on fuel and all of this creates a vicious circle were the population being weakened after years of exhausting their resources and not having any more capacity to sustain will only have more epidemic's like diphtheria coming back to them if these conditions are not treated immedia

while the illustrated book does feature many aspects of traditional yemeni society not only people's day to day life but also the civil war in the society intervention as well as the problems of terrorism your three explained her inspiration. they're on the book the yemeni bride is sort tracked their audience and specially also young people too to yemen some of them they don't know exactly where yemenis in them up some of them they heard about yemen only by news but yemen is a country you need to know from inside and what we decide to do with this case also to tell good stories about cook system so people inside the country we wish her to tell something for example about the reason why turkey's mental cards are spread around the country or why some part of al qaeda turn into high seas for example in yemen and you can tell there is also an specially led the people seeing with the drawings what i sew as a witness the civil war which broke back in twenty fifteen this claimed over ten thousand lives the country's economy has been left in ruins and according to u.n. estimates some twenty

yemeni president who was basically removed from power i doubt the last. but you know this takes me back and just with in twenty seconds history lesson especially that we have a lot of europeans this into us now this was this is the suppression in yemen and the unity in yemen took place exactly the same time that germany united you know one nine hundred ninety is the one germany united the yemeni united's and and everyone who was wondering if the german mother was going to be the yemeni mother meaning basically west germany took over is germany but eventually merkel who is from east germany became the chancellor in yemen we have similar situation the north basically you know took over the south but no opposite will most who had who is a southerner is really the leader of the entire country you know with the exception of the host cities so all in all you would hope that the emmys understand that division and friction within their country whether with the hoses or with the separates will not lead to a bus but the situation in yemen there are no separate solu

obviously, the consequences are devastating for yemenis.my: what does the trump family gain by this close relationship with saudi arabia? not to diminish the obama administration and the number of times he went to saudi arabia and what he had done, but clearly, the first foreign trip president t trump took was too saudi arabia. jared kushner has been our number of times. his closeness with the crown prince salman. what do the trumps gain? >> this is a lot of -- based on financial interest in economic interest. this is the really disheartening thing about it because that is at the expense of millions of yemenis who are literally starving to death. the interest of those people and the lives of those people is being seen as inferior to the economic interests of u.s. in ththe financial interests of the trump administration. it brings a lot of questions compass ofthe moral societies and our governments with the u.s. and the u.k., in this about the direction thahat this takes because we are all now well aware of the human terrain situation in yem

caring about the yemeni people and their suffering and if they had the slightest bit of concern they would have pushed for a strong diplomatic solution and believe me with with a strong american backing and pressure on the saudis they could bring this war to an end and they could go back to a negotiated solution now look you know but it is part of a new vibrant and very promising generation in yemen there are young yemeni men and women who are leaders of civil society or are leaders in the media and who are spreading the word about what's going on in yemen they're doing a very good job i commend them unfortunately it doesn't seem to be their time yet to take over the reins of power in yemen the problem with the national dialogue at the time conducted by u.n. envoy here malbon or maher is that is it was concerned with the constitution with refinements but there was no real power breaking power brokering arrangement to get everybody the main leaders of those who counted who had soldiers on the ground to agree on how they were going to share power once you need that first then you can c
