Saudi Arabia Unable to Reach Goals in Yemen: Egyptian Analyst
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A retired Egyptian army general and military strategist underlined that Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies will achieve nothing from their air strikes in Yemen.
"Saudi Arabia will gain no success in its air strikes on Yemen because the Ansarullah (movement) and opponents of the Saudi regime in Yemen will not give in to Riyadh's demands," Tal'at Muslim said in an interview with the Tasnim News Agency.
He added that it is the Yemeni people who will ultimately determine the fate of the Arabian Peninsula country.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the top analyst pointed to the internal conflicts in Yemen, saying that the country's crisis can be resolved only politically.
"It is time now for parties involved in the conflicts to put an end to the unrest in the Arab country," he went on to say.
On March 26, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies began to militarily interfere in Yemen's internal affairs by launching deadly air strikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to the fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.
The Saudi-led coalition announced on April 21 that its military operation "Decisive Storm" has ended, but hours later, air strikes and ground fighting resumed.
According to the spokesman of the Yemeni Army, the Saudi-led war on the Arab country killed 2,051 people, most of them civilians.
