Its so tough to upbring a Human being, the mother makes an effort. Father makes a lot of efforts to raise his children. Lot of time goes by for child to grow up and become a man.
Loss of life in a battle of power. May his soul rest in peace.

Well said. This is a defence forum, in all the talk of war and power, it's so easy to lose sight of the fragility and value of human life.

I hate sick people who keep blaming Muslim Brotherhood parties that have nothing to do with the situation. I hate people who belittle and attack someone over his identity and view him as lower than them for nothing other than giving his political input. I'm not even treated as a fellow Arab on an Arab Defense forum and those members there are allowed to abuse everyone with no repercussions. And I'm not talking about one or two people, over and over again I've had to deal with it and almost half of the members if not more encourage it. Sorry to say but Saudi's I'm done sympathizing with any of your causes. You guys don't listen and you guys lack manners. Not going to be overly polite and restrain myself anymore. Was very patient with you guys and yet it happened again today.

Anyway this coalition is doomed from the start. Out of resect I made it seem otherwise, but no way will anything work out for them the way they are managing things. And especially if they are going to rely on UAE government which is a disgusting government that considers 50% of Arab Sunni's as enemies. They are also retards who are lucky to have oil and all they can do is bark and pretend like they have any clout.

I am very close to supporting Houthis, not because I am upset with Arabs or anything of that matter. But, because I really can't identify with these morally and ethically deficient people and I don't like what their governments stand for. Also **** Iranian gov't and Saudi gov't, don't like either of them. However, it seems like these Houthis are doing their own thing and however badly you view them, I don't think they are as low as this axis of dictators and the low people with zero manners that support them.

Looks like Iran has decided to kill him when it was obvious he was starting to turn towards Saudi.

Really man, are you really going to say with that a straight face when you guys are shocked and blaming the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen for what happened on the Arab forum? I told the guy to cut the nonsense and he made in fun of my Palestinian identity. Told him to **** off and got banned. You know what if you guys can't help yourselves no one can help you. Any time I comment on anything there related to a thread, someone has belittled me over my identity. I'm not even going to bother supporting you guys from now on. You guys can't even have basic manners, and never has anyone there been punished for that behavior.

Your problem is that you've often betrayed the Arabs in support of Gazastan. So when Iran gives you weapons to start wars on Tehran's behalf, you're supportive of Tehran's mullahs even though Iran is the biggest threat to Arabs in the region.

That's why you're not taken seriously because you flip-flop all the time depending on who's supporting Hamas/Gaza.

**** off man, there are so many problems in the region and so much evil in the region besides Iran that you don't direct any attention to. You have made Iran a diversion from other injustices occurring and that's not acceptable. You either rally against all injustices in the region or go to hell. I'm tired of you morally deficient and hypocritical people. And no, this was likely a Houthi action on its own.

Tuck your tail and fvck off , it's been clear where I stand regarding alliances of the region, I don't stand with Iran or Saudi Arabia or anyone else. You are a lying scumbag Indian double user who's been banned numerous times before. And like I give a shit what you promote about me, I'm not looking for acceptance amongst morally and ethically deficient people. I represent myself and hold my head high unlike you who's driven by national interests that are not dependent on right or wrong.

Saleh invited Khomeyni houthi terrorists to save his throne. And now Khomeyni terrorist killed himself. Thats strong message to Assad.

You seem like a very angry young man.

Also more and more Arabs are moving away from the Muslim Brotherhood type of political Islam, whereas you're still a fanboy of it. That could be another reason why you're not taken seriously. Just trying to help you out.

Like I said if you have nothing useful to say keep quiet.

 

[mike2000 is back]

So Houthis militias killed him because he turned his back on them?
Guess this was expected.

 

[Arabi]

Keep living in your delusions, clearly Houthis are in control in Sanaa. Your coalition is useless because it considers half of Yemeni Sunni's or more as enemies and will not support them. That's one factor, the other is that dumb people are leading it.

You seem a little bit angry, but anyway, Saleh is a criminal who had been ruling Yemen for decades and never done anything good to the people of Yemen. After he was taken away from the throne, he tried to take it back by bringing a primitive and terrorist militia from Saddah called Houthis to Sanaa and other cities, an insane move that no one accepts especially in the south.
In the north, they somehow tried to get along with Houthis only because their beloved leader Saleh brought them from their caves. Now, all loyal tribes to Saleh in north Yemen will be upset and will never accept a primitive to take the power... Yemen has many strong and big tribes that are mostly loyal to Saleh and they have have been an obstacle in the way for the Saudi-led coalition to enter Sanaa ...

dude, its all over the Arab world same story with Palestinians.
You are effectively just a political dummy for Arab dictators to extend their rule
A glutton for deriving legitimacy for their rule..

What the Houthis have cost Yemen

Ali Abdullah Saleh


THE killing of former Yemen President Ali Abdullah Saleh Monday during fighting with the Iran-aligned Houthi militia in the capital Sanaa is just another example of changing equations with allies turning into enemies while creating further confusion in the ongoing battle for Sanaa. Following Saleh’s death a teetering nation is sure to be put at the edge of an abyss. It is going to further muddle the Yemeni quagmire created by more than 2-1/2 years of civil war.

Saleh had allied himself with the Houthis against the coalition forces that intervened in Yemen’s civil war in 2015 aiming to restore the internationally recognized government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi after the Houthis forced him into exile. But in a sudden change of dynamics when Saleh broke ranks with the Houthis it triggered a fresh round of clashes in the capital that culminated in Saleh’s death, while the civil war raged on, compounding one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes in recent times.

The clashes underscore the complex situation in Yemen, one of the poorest countries in the Middle East, where a civil war has killed more than 10,000 people since 2015, displaced more than two million people, caused a cholera outbreak infecting nearly one million people and put the country on the brink of famine. The complexity was underscored by the aspersions of the friends turned foes in pinning the blame on each other in this fresh crisis. Saleh’s General People›s Congress (GPC) party, accused the Houthis of failing to honor the truce and said in a statement on its website that the Houthis bear responsibility for dragging the country into a civil war. It also called on supporters, including tribal fighters, to “defend themselves, their country, their revolution and their republic...”

The statement seemed to sum up the situation as the Houthis battled on with murderous intent on the sixth day of heavy urban warfare during which the death toll has jumped to at least 125 with 238 wounded, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross. Sanaa residents reported intense fighting with families cowering in their homes as explosions rocked the city.

The callousness of the Houthis and their intention to loot and ravage the country was evident from the Yemeni Coalition to Monitor Human Rights Violations (YCMHRV) report issued in 2015 documenting the atrocities in Yemen’s capital Sanaa, along with the governorates of Taiz, Lahej, Hodeidah, Addali’e, Abyan, Dhamar, and Shabwa. The report compiles a year’s worth of field research by YCMHR monitors. Now with this killing they would be further emboldened to carry out their plan of gaining sway over complete Yemen. Unless international intervention takes place immediately the situation in Yemen, already out of control, would end up in total chaos. Already the United Nations has called for a humanitarian pause in Sanaa between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to allow civilians to leave their homes, aid workers to reach them, and the wounded to get medical care, for it said the streets of Sanaa had become “battlegrounds” and that aid workers “remain in lockdown”.

The previous night, Saleh had officially announced the dissolution of his partnership with former Houthi militia allies. He had said in statements on Monday morning that, “Zero hour is coming to the battlefield in Sanaa... The country had to be saved from the madness of the Houthi group.” His words before being killed is ominous, for Yemen will have to unite in its efforts to blunt the Houthis charge and aspirations. Saleh’s death is definitely a turning point in Yemen’s history. But for now, it changes nothing for the millions of people suffering in the worst possible ways you could ever imagine across the country. Saleh’s dead but the war continues, and is far from over.

A terrorist leader is dead..massive blow to houtis...a major win for Saudi led collation..

Is that why Hadi, the stooge sent condolences for his killing and called him a martyr? Also Saudi coalition started supporting him soon after he turned against Houthis. So I'd say biggest loss to the coalition. Saudis are basically saving face. Houthis should have never trusted Saleh in first place in 2014 and now he payed the price for the betrayal.

Saleh was anything but a stooge. Hadi is a stooge in its literal meaning. Saleh was just an unreliable yet powerful former dictator with considerable influence in military and security. He changed sides again in Yemen's complex politics and sided with Saudis, but this time he wasn't much lucky to get away with it.

If he could arrive in Riyadh, he would become Hadi's new roommate. They will miss Hariri,
