. the war in yemen is getting more complicated by the day with an imminent humanitarian disaster looming over the warring factions can anything be done or is it too late today i talked to a former foreign minister of yemen. the war in yemen is taking a new turn. for the red cross to sell corning for a bird to shoot of the country while the saudi led blockade is threatening yemen with full fledged famine. any kind of solution we reached at this point is a military victory possible for any warring sides and what are the ways out of the current stalemate. dr abu bakar of. the former foreign minister of yemen welcome to the show it's really great to have you with us now dr s. this situation in yemen wasn't complicated and now the protests have now broken out in the south of the country where the south a transitional council supposedly backed by the united arab emirates calling for a popular uprising to restore independence of south yemen is yemen had it into complete collapse. i hope no three i think the. situation is very serious and deteriorating by the day because you know serious

dr abu bakar. b former foreign minister of yemen welcome to the show it's really great to have you with us now dr s. this situation in yemen wasn't complicated and now protests have now broken out in the south of the country where the south a transitional council supposedly backed by the united arab emirates calling for a popular uprising to restore independence of south yemen is yemen had it into complete collapse. i hope no three i think the. situation is very serious indeed to do anything by the day because you know serious action has been taken by either the government of yemen or by the international community and sponsors of the peace in yemen and because of the loss of direction and loss of ability to and that has turned to the basics of all these conflicts and. the many layers and the conflicts and since the situation is deteriorating and will continue to do so yes unfortunately the issue of the demonstrations and the issue of the humanitarian issues are very serious at the moment but. i think they are already flexion of the was the most of the hope of a new solution coming

c-span2. up next, a conversation about the conflict in yemen and u.s. policy concerning the ongoing violence and related humanitarian issues. ing. >>> thank you very much for joining us. welcome to everyone here in the hall of the brookings institution on this lovely day. and welcome to everyone watching us on c-span. this is an event that we discussed having quite a while ago for the extreme importance of the issue. the war on yemen receives this kind of attention for this magnitude and for the cost, the human cost involved and yet it's a very important policy question, something that's central for us in u.s. policy. of course, the events have made it slightly more in the news, the tragic and heinous murder of jamal khashoggi, and why is it that a the murder of a man has made it a whole set of issues more than a war. it's a fair question, and jamal khashoggi who was a part of the community in a sense in washington was here in this hall and with many in the brookings institution and we fully expect he would be here today to discuss this issue and participate in this event. his last

the day because you know serious action has been taken by the government of yemen or by the international community and the sponsors of the peace in yemen and because of the loss of direction and loss of ability to and that has turned to the basics of all these conflicts and. the many layers of the conflict since the situation is deteriorating and will continue to do so yes unfortunately the issue of the demonstrations and the issue of the humanitarian issues are very serious at the moment but. i think they are already flexion of the was a loss of hope both and the solution coming forward and then into the hostilities in the conflict that exists now in the country so how does the emirate support for the separatists go along with the united arab emirates military backing of press and how does government in the fight against the rebels how can they support what is called the legitimate government and at the same time a rebel group which is fighting against it. i think basically this is that affliction unfortunately of the lack of direction of both the transitional council and

war in yemen they did try and host talks with the northeast a couple of years of all those failed but the emir of kuwait is widely respected as a mediator in the region he's known as the wise man of the gulf maybe he will try and use his influence and his respect to try and yield some sort of a resolution when it comes to a breakthrough rather when it comes to the war in yemen and obviously there is aside from the diplomatic crisis that. both these countries share an interest in there is economic ties between the two it is important to note however that saudi does or does view itself as the stronger bigger partner in this relationship they don't lose an opportunity to remind equations that it was them who intervened during the night in ninety gulf war when saddam had invaded kuwait that the saudis had helped the qualities of that time and therefore maybe some observers would say or some saudi critics would say that riyadh doesn't maybe respect kuwait attempts or overtures to try and find a resolution in these different prices as much as they should nonetheless this is being hailed her

it for a negotiated peace in yemen can they be trusted. if what they actually want is is peace on their terms and to rid yemen of any iranian influence. no no this is not true i mean the piece the terms of the united nations resolution twenty two sixteen end of story and this is very clear why not the united nation or mr griffiths you know what cards to implement this your united nations resolution twenty two sixteen and the stand of the legitimate so you know governments and the allied forces i mean the. coalition that a coalition is ok the who thing you are not allowed to be in a two to control the whole yemen you are. a minority or you are in a part of the me yemenis people so if you want to get involved in that in the political process we are most welcome but as a military as a militia ok as a militia armed by iran. the sole enemy of the out of snow this is not accepted. the arabs allied forces they will not accept at all that the who thier will become like cause by law in lebanon or the militias in iraq no way no way they want not accept that at all so it's very clear if you
