Disintegration of Yemen; the Wish of the Aggressors

2019/01/23 | Opinion

Strategic Council Online: One of the most dramatic scenarios for the regional Coalition and the Western countries is an attempt to disintegrate and split Yemen and that too with the aim of undermining Yemen so that a powerful and democratic government would not come into power alongside the borders of Saudi kingdom. Jafar Ghanadbashi, expert on West Asian affairs

Although since the Stockholm Conference on Yemen, the Saudi Coalition has so far under different excuses and in various ways acted against the ceasefire process and has openly and clandestinely deviated from the provisions of the agreement, nevertheless, the prevailing political conditions and atmosphere has compelled the Riyadh and Abu Dhabi authorities to take small steps in compliance with the Stockholm Agreement. Therefore, despite all the obstructions, it can be said that the ceasefire agreement is now on the road to implementation.

Of course, this achievement is on the one hand due to the actions of the Ansarullah Movement in implementation of the provisions of the Stockholm Agreement (this action by Ansarullah has increased the global demands from the Saudi Coalition), and, on the other hand, the emergence of favorable conditions for the implementation of the truce should be regarded among the UN measures to fulfill some of the provisions of the Stockholm Agreement, including the exchange of prisoners, as well as the deployment of observer forces at the port of al-Hudaydah.

This is happening under conditions that the international atmosphere is by no means ready for continuation of the land aggression and airstrikes by the Saudi Coalition, in particular, that opposition to the continuation of the Yemeni war has spread to the political levels and the Western supporters of the Coalition have underlined the need to observe the ceasefire agreement.

Of course, the Saudi Coalition does not want a continuation of the fighting due to successive defeats in the land, air, and seafronts, and what makes them eager to continue the war is the hope that before the end of the field operations, they would gain minimum concessions. Anyway, according to the Stockholm Agreement arrangements were made to hold a 2-day conference in Amman, Jordan to discuss the exchange of thousands of prisoners.

On the other hand, the United Nations has decided to deploy a group of international observers at al-Hudaydah which will help reduce the fragility of the current ceasefire.

Meanwhile, while the Saudi Coalition continues to engage in military operations and killing civilians in battlefields except in al-Hudaydah, the routes to supply food and medicine to Yemen have not been opened yet, and the blockade has made the job so difficult for Ansarullah. Nevertheless, the current situation is more favorable than the conditions before the ceasefire, and the Yemeni people can take advantage of the situation and continue to resist the aggressors.

The emergence of such a situation is the result of the prevailing international mood and global opposition to the Yemeni war, the same conditions that can provide a prospect of hope for the Yemeni people after nearly four years of a full-scale war.

Thus, one scenario about the future of Yemen is that, although the strategic importance of Yemen and its key position in Bab al-Mandeb would not completely eliminate international and regional disturbances, however, the aggressors are not in a position to be able to continue their crimes in Yemen. Of course, another scenario, which is highly regarded by the regional Coalition and the Western countries, is an attempt to divide and disintegrate Yemen with the aim of preventing the establishment of a powerful and democratic state alongside the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They also want to take advantage of the rivalries between the divided parts as a factor to further undermine Yemen.

However, the most optimistic scenario in this regard is to prepare the grounds for a referendum and an election that all Yemeni people will participate in and to vote in favor of establishing a democratic and powerful government that would represent all parts of Yemen.

The Inseparability of the Lebanese Front from the Axis of Resistance

SCFR Online–Opinion: By providing an extensive network of social, healthcare, educational, and post-war reconstruction services, Hezbollah has established a strong social base for itself among Lebanon’s Shiites and Sunnis, and even beyond that, among other segments of Lebanese society, including Christians. Hezbollah has never been an external actor imposed upon Lebanon; rather, it is a phenomenon fundamentally born out of the occupation and crimes of the Zionist regime and itself influenced by popular resistance.

The Increasing Efforts of the Zionist Regime to Redefine Borders and the Regional Order and Its Consequences

SCFR Online– Opinion: Security and military developments in the region over recent months indicate that the ongoing crises and wars in Gaza, southern Lebanon, and parts of Syrian territory encompass broader dimensions of geopolitical and geostrategic transformations. In this context, the increased military presence and control of the Zionist regime over parts of the territories of these areas, along with proposals regarding the creation of buffer zones or even the expansion of security borders, have raised serious questions about the future of the regional order and its consequences for the countries of West Asia.

The Components of Iran’s Deterrence Power

SCFR Online – Opinion: At a time when regional security equations have reached a sensitive stage under the influence of Iran’s strategic confrontation with the United States and the Zionist regime, the question of the nature of Tehran’s defensive power has gained greater significance than ever before. While Washington and Tel Aviv rely on their technological superiority, the Islamic Republic of Iran has presented a model of deterrence that extends beyond the material calculations of the world’s classical militaries. This power, rooted in the connection between “the field” and “the people,” has not only altered the balance of power in recent conflicts but has also disrupted adversaries’ calculations when confronting Iran’s strategic depth.
