Silas struck an alliance with the whose these after a Popular Uprising ended his thirty three year rule in two thousand and twelve he was succeeded by his deputy abdul rob a man so had a who fled to saudi arabia after he take over in johnny two thousand and fifteen and it was there he called an emergency meeting on saturday to discuss the situation. The Saudi Led Coalition has been fighting to restore hardie to power meanwhile silas says he wants a quick and to the conflict which is a volved into the Worlds Largest humanitarian crisis. The regional analysts believe salah is personally motivated and is looking for a future role for him and possibly members of his family in government whatever the case this latest violence is threaten to destabilize yemen even. While the war in yemen has its origins in the failure of a political transition following the two thousand and eleven arab spring the uprising forced out longtime president saleh and triggered a complicated struggle for power as all of the now explains. In many ways the conflict in yemen underlines the contradictions and rivalries of a post arab spring middle east it was all about reinstating the authority of arab with rebel months who are heady the internationally recognized yemeni president he had risen to power after the Popular Uprising in two thousand and eleven taking over from his boss. Who had led the country for three decades. Had to struggle to impose his authority in a country riddled with poverty the spread of armed groups and corruption he also couldnt fend of the rising influence of the who thiis who had taken control of the northern province of sada and the capital sanaa. Once at odds the iranian backed who these and deposed president who still had the support of many in the military became allies and were planning a total takeover of the country. But more than two years later neither side appears close to achieving a military victory and the political cards are being shuffled once again the Tactical Alliance between the whos the supporters was fragile at best both being highly suspicious of each others motives but united by the same desire to overthrow the had the Administration Former president Ali Abdullah Saleh now says hes open to talks with the saudi that coalition if it will put an end to the fighting and the blockade while they need to lift the blockade and open the airport and allow food and medicine into the country we will open a new page for them for dialogue what is happening in yemen is enough. This turnaround effectively puts an end to the partnership with the who these there leader criticize the move as an attempted coup hes very charismatic in the way that he knows how to to actually go out of his way change one hundred eighty degrees and be very pragmatic in who he. Goes into a coalition with and that showed that once again if it suits him of the timing is right he will do what is necessary to remain in power its about Regime Security and hes very good at the probably the who this is that theyre an ideological player so they do have a clear belief system they believe in something they have an ideological objective they want to achieve and solid doesnt have that for solid its pure about purely about interests and its about establishing or maintaining his power base as president saleh was a close saudi ally and full of who thinks several times hes also known as a man of great survival x. Friends have once again turned into enemies and flows into new. Living head the illegitimate president of yemen in the cold but at the edges there was we now as women are born a lot are retired Jordanian Air force general and the military analyst with us in the studio thank you so much for being out with us here on aljazeera so lets start with this message to who these have sent out saying that they did send a missile towards a u. A. E. Let me just read you what the authorities said that the u. S. Authorities said to residents dont pay any attention to rumors the semin ated by media agencies issuing false news questioning the capability strength and security of the u. A. E. What was your reaction when you heard the who the message saying that they had sent unless a missile this is us is the second who three strike against but think its not clear about what is that missile landed in actual fact i consider them as a massive effectiveness warp and they could better lies the country by hitting a communication line. Deceleration planet than refinery all kind of very high value targets so they are serious a threat and they should and nobody could look nor know of these but what do you make of the u. A. E. Sort of just dismissing the claims from who these will just this is a message also good. For Public Opinion not to be scared because its have a very great psychological impact its a weapon of terror thats why i think this saying that but what if land it would say nobody knows and just to remind the viewers that obviously u. A. E. Is part of the Saudi Led Coalition one of of the main members well lets just turn our focus now to yemen the situation keeps on getting worse weve just heard that the u. N. And the i. C. R. C. The red cross are pulling out all nonessential staff or trying to out asylum because of the escalation of violence in the capital now weve seen a break between the who are these and the supporters over. How do you interpret that that move its a very serious move but actually nobody can win the war in yemen its an industry or thats the way i consider it a power alone by commission will not win this war. They have the advantage in controlling fifty five percent of north and yemen and even in some asshole its still meets two asian world we see great now and if you carry on like that the who are these are the leader of the who these said it was great treason we had that how much do you think it actually damages them. It does because they have the support of their land bentyl sort of. They both cooperate to get santa natural fit so yes they miss some will do it capability but this will not really a big disadvantage for them they will carry on fighting as long as iran also supplying. You know expert things like that weapon lee and all kind of openly they will carry on fighting i mean yemen it was already the poorest country in the middle east that weve seen in the past three years or so since the war i mean some of the images coming out of it for the blockade i mean it really is heartbreaking whats happening to the people there what do you think the end game is here i mean what does a victory look like for example for the Saudi Led Coalition they wont want to act its an endless war. And the people the people of yemen is really the is really suffering its good to so free in actual fact whats happening in yemen ok well thats a terrible note to end it on the moon of an oil we have to speak to you again as more developments develop on this for the moment thank you. So its more to come here on the aljazeera news hour including were going to be live in honduras where there is an uneasy calm as people await the results of that this president ial election. They told me if i went with them they would look off to me and help me find a husband alone and afraid we need the ranger girls who have been sold the sex slaves after escaping from islands in myanmar and this is the new formula season gets started well be asking if electric car racing is the future of motor sport. But first u. S. President donald trump says he never asked the former f. B. I. Director james comey to stop investigating his former National Security advisor Michael Flynn in a tweet trying to blame the fake news for covering what he called cold muse lies testified before congress in june that trumpets spoken to him about letting go flynn has pleaded guilty to lying to the f. B. I. In the same bird but his contacts with russias ambassador he insists he was asked to do so by a Senior Member of trumps Transition Team this is all part of an investigation into allegations of russian meddling in last years u. S. Election. Well then in a second a tweet the president also attacked the f. B. I. He said its reputation is in tatters and called it the worse than history there are a classic senator Dianne Feinstein says a Senate Investigation into u. S. Russia link says also revealed a possible obstruction of justice case. I see it in the hyper frenetic attitude of the white house that comments every day the continual tweets. And i see it most importantly in what happened with the firing of director komi and it is my belief that that is directly because he did not agree to lift the cloud of the russian vest a geisha and thats obstruction of justice well for more on all of this tom ackerman joins us live now from washington first of all tom i understand theres been an intervention from trumps lawyer. Yeah hes going back on a tweet that trump issued on saturday in which she added one more reason for why he fired flynn and that was lying to the f. B. I. This had not been spoken of before by trump and his personal lawyer john dowd explained that it was his responsibility that he had been sloppy in drafting trumps tweet and he shouldnt have mentioned that of course that raises the question who is actually the final authority on whatever Donald Trump Tweets nevertheless its at odds with the kinds of attacks that hes been that hes been issuing against the f. B. I. And hes calling it its reputation in tatters bringing up a case of the special counsel robert muller. Removing one of the investigators. Agents who reportedly had made some derogatory comments on twitter on private tweets against trump and against and in favor of Hillary Clinton and proving that the f. B. I. Was was biased and so on one hand hes hes tried to divorce him so from those attacks on the f. B. I. Or at least explaining away this all in all its very very unclear it just adds to the confusion and it also adds to the questions about just how how exercised the president is right now about the onset of further investigation and the fact that flynn by all accounts is prepared to divulge more details of his communications with the white house with his superiors in the white house regarding contacts with the russians during the transition and tom just looking at another issue to deal with the Trump Administration trumps a son in law and jared cush there. To trump kind of put in charge of the middle east hes actually been speaking about the u. S. Decision on whether to recognize jerusalem as israels capital there have been rumors that some kind of a ninth announcement might be made as early as wednesday oh what did you hear well he was repeatedly pressed on details of the ongoing negotiations or were preparations for negotiations the american brokering of a revival of negotiations for a final deal between the palestinians and the israelis and he did not did he not he did not bite on the bait he just refused to talk about any details he actually said that the members of the negotiating team were actually prideful pride full of pride in the fact that there were no leaks up until now about what will happen i can say that the Jordans King Abdullah who was in washington this past week was one only the latest to ones to counsel against the. Opening up the embassy in jerusalem moving the embassy to jerusalem saying that it not only would impede any kind of progress towards a two state solution but also would in bold in terrorists to inflict more damage using that is fueling the using the at that is further ammunition for their attacks. Talking with the latest from washington on both of those stories tom thank you. Now staying in the u. S.
