Yemeni fire on the verge of collapse
Analysts and informed sources say that the Saudi coalition’s lack of full adherence to UN commitments and delays in resolving the announced problems has led Sanaa to conclude that the other side is not serious about establishing a ceasefire.
After a third of the Yemeni ceasefire (20 days out of a total of 60 days) without significant military and humanitarian progress, and at the same time as Sanaa’s confidence in the possibility of the Saudi-UN coalition being faithful to its commitments, signs of a ceasefire persist. The country is not optimistic.
“In the first days of Ramadan, on April 2, 2021, the United Nations declared a humanitarian and military ceasefire in Yemen,” Al-Mayadin reported recently in a report by Yemeni writer Ali Zafer. And Sanaa and the whole world welcomed it. Saudi Arabia also welcomed it, albeit in a complicated way. “It was clear from the beginning that the aggressor coalition did not intend to save the fire as the first step in building trust and paving the way for subsequent developments.”
The author continues: “On paper, in a humanitarian ceasefire on the cessation of all military operations, ensuring the safe and smooth movement of 18 oil ships in two months and allowing 16 flights by commercial aircraft from [specific sources] to Sanaa and vice versa, or in other words an average of two “Commercial flights are emphasized every week.”
Ali Zafir added: “In practice, Sanaa has adhered to its commitments by suspending its military operations to advance towards Saudi Arabia and suspending all offensive operations along the internal and border fronts; But the other side has not committed to stopping hostile military operations since the early hours of the ceasefire. Some field military sources report: “The aggressor coalition violated it 1,647 times during the first week of the firefight, including sabotage of combat drones, intensive flight of fighter and reconnaissance drones, artillery and missile strikes, shooting, and advancement.” “Calm field in the south of Ma’rib province has been renovated and re-positioned on the field.”
