Riyadh Opposed to Peaceful Solution for Yemen
Hafsa Kara-Mustapha, a journalist and political analyst, in London, in an interview with Press TV referred to the Saudis’ opposition to peaceful political talks among Yemeni factions, arguing that Riyadh seeks to continue the bombardment of Yemen and the massacre of Yemeni civilians.
Yemenis are not able to sit around a table and find a peaceful political solution because the Saudis are continuing pounding their cities and infrastructure, she said.
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 has killed 2,051 people, most of them civilians.
