Is US-Saudi Aggression Serious about Truce with Yemen?
The statements of the head of the National Delegation, which he made to Al-Masirah TV, with the arrival of a delegation from the Sultanate of Oman to Sana’a, indicated that there are positive interactions regarding efforts to restore truce in Yemen.
It seems that the rapid return of the delegation of Oman to Sana’a, nearly twenty days after the previous visit, may be an indication of the movement of the suspended issues between Sana’a and the US-Saudi aggression, according to observers.
Mohammad Abdulsalam said that the visit of the Omani delegation “comes at this stage as a continuation of the recent meetings, after we conveyed many messages.”
Abdulsalam revealed what could be considered ongoing secret talks between Sanaa and the aggression’s countries, saying, “There is back and forth with the other parties, and we will inform the leadership and the head of the Supreme Political Council about other points of view.”
Abdulsalam added that “the humanitarian situation is at the forefront of the political and negotiating issues,” explaining that the intensive visits between Muscat and Sana’a reflect the latter’s seriousness in reaching tangible steps.
Conditional Acceptance
Despite the state of secrecy surrounding the ongoing negotiations, including the axes of the discussions and the points of view presented by the Omani delegation for discussion in Sana’a, political analysts said that Mohammad Abdulsalam’s statements indicates the possibility that the aggression had agreed to Sana’a’s final condition of paying the salaries of all those affiliated with the state.
However, the approval of the coalition does not seem to be without a reward, which prompted the Omani delegation to return to Sana’a in order to bring the points of view closer, knowing that the issue of paying salaries is the “easiest aspect” between the conditions that Sana’a adheres to, represented by the departure of foreign forces from Yemen and lifting the blockade.
The US-Saudi aggression’s failure to respond to Sana’a’s demand of paying salaries, and dealing with it with a sharp refusal by the UN and US envoys, reveals in fact how far the coalition may go in pressuring Yemen, through a war of starvation, especially since the issue of paying employees’ salaries represents a humanitarian demand
Days ago, a member of the delegation, Abdulmalik Al-Ejri, wrote on his Twitter account about “security guarantees for neighboring countries,” he explained that the stability and sovereignty of Yemen represents the most important guarantee that neighboring countries can obtain.
