Analyst Discloses Saudi Arabia's Dangerous Proposal for Dissolving Yemeni Army

A senior political analyst said the political stances of UN Special Envoy to Yemen Ismail Ould Sheikh Ahmed prevented peace talks in Kuwait to proceed as the Riyadh delegation to the negotiations proposed the dissolution of Yemen's army.

"The Riyadh delegation has demanded withdrawal of the popular forces from the cities and surrendering their weapons which is not logical," Yemeni Political Commentator Majed al-Qazali said on Monday.

He, meantime, said that the biased stances adopted by Sheikh Ahmed have made solution of Yemen's crisis to weaken and fade away.

"The political stances of the UN special envoy are corresponding to those of Saudi Arabia and the US and this prevents progress in the talks," al-Qazali said.

Earlier on Monday, a jailed prisoner of war (PoW) disclosed plots by the Riyadh government to assassinate political leaders and military commanders in Southern Yemen.

"After confessions by jailed Saudi mercenaries, the security forces disclosed that Saudi Arabia is planning to conduct large-scale terrorist operations in Sana'a and some Yemeni provinces against the revolutionary forces," Head of Yemeni Popular Forces' Special Security Service Ali Hashem disclosed.

 Hashem reiterated that Saudi Arabia is looking for spreading terrorism in Yemen because it considers terrorism a weapon that has targeted Yemen's revolution and the Yemeni people.

He, meantime, said that there are over 230 PoWs of the Saudi-led coalition in the Yemeni prisons.

On Sunday, a senior Yemeni military source disclosed that the Saudi regime has coordinated with Al-Qaeda to dispatch a large number of Takfiri terrorists to the strategic regions in Southern Yemen.

"Saudi Arabia has stationed a large number of al-Qaeda terrorists around the strategic strait of Bab al-Mandeb in Southern Yemen in line with a US plot to increase its military presence there," Khalil Abdullah said.

Abdullah also said that Saudi Arabia has asked its Sudanese mercenaries to advance towards Ta'iz and Lahij provinces.

"Hundreds of Al-Qaeda terrorists are now in Southwestern Yemen and they have pointed their artillery at the strategic Bab al-Mandeb Strait," Abdullah said.

On Saturday, Yemeni Popular Forces' Commanders announced that Washington has stirred security threats in Southern Yemen to find an excuse for the presence of the US troops there.

"The security turmoil in Southern Yemen is a US plot to occupy the country," Ansarullah commander Abdullah al-Nassiri said.

Al-Nassiri reiterated that the US, the UAE and Saudi Arabia are cooperating hard to continue their occupation of Yemen.

Earlier this month, Ansarullah Movement's Spokesman Mohammad Abdulsalam strongly condemned the US for dispatching its military servicemen to a military base in Lahij province in Southern Yemen.

"The presence of the US soldiers in Yemen is blatant violation of Yemen's national sovereignty," Ansarullah Movement's Spokesman Mohammad Abdulsalam wrote on his Twitter account and in reaction to the deployment of the US troops in Southern Yemen.

He underlined that the Ansarullah movement condemns the US deployment in Southern Yemen.

Abdulsalam underlined that the occupying forces should leave Yemen and take their military hardware with them.

"When we declared that Al-Qaeda and the ISIL are present in the Southern parts of Yemen and the Yemeni army should take the responsibility to confront them, (fugitive President) Mansour Hadi and Riyadh denied the same; now who is going to be accountable," Ansarullah spokesman said.

Also this month, Ansarullah in a statement condemned the US deployment in the Southern parts of Yemen.

"This action is in line with Washington's colonial goals and is blatant aggression against Yemen," part of the statement read.

The statement reiterated that the Yemeni people irrespective of their political inclinations are against the US troops' deployment in their country.

"The UN and world countries should not remain silent about the US military intervention in Yemen," it added.

The statement described the US redeployment of special forces in Southern Yemen a dangerous move at a time when political efforts and peace talks are underway in Kuwait for putting an end to war and suffering of the Yemeni people

Ansarullah's statement came after the US Army deployed 100 special forces in Southern Yemen.

The Pentagon said in early May that it sent the US special operations forces back to Yemen to provide training and assistance to an Arab coalition to allegedly fight al Qaeda militants in the fractured country.

The US troops with full military equipment have been stationed in al-And military base in Southern Yemen.
