Tackle the problem it faces. When i asked them how they could move forward with the houthis, and the supporters of the former president rejecting the deal, he said that these people signed a deal with the United Nations present in november the 1st, giving the president mandate to choose members of the government. As far as hes concerned. Here is a document. Hes open to dialogue with them. Having said that, im not going to take into account their concerns. Lets listen to what the Prime Minister had to say. According to what we havee made orally with them, they have signed the papers. We are considering what has been signed, regardless of statements, during the meeting with the u. N. Representatives, any kind of other statement is related to them. Its not an easy thing in yemen. But with the support of the yemeni people, the support of our brothers, with the support of the arab nations, our friends, from all over the world, i think we tried to take on all those challenges. The whole point of the problem was to stablilize yemen. Are the houthis going to pull out of sanaa . It doesnt seem to be the case given the position given by the houthis. They rejected the government, and therefore they understand that the fighters are present. In fact. While i was driving back from the president ial palace to the office, there was checkpoints manned by houthi fighters. And would you look at yemen. The significant gains made by houthis, they control sanaa, amaran, the power base in sadr, and are expanding in sunni areas in the south. Its hard to imagine the houthis going back to square one, and surroundering disarming and pulling out from the capital. I have been hearing houthi sources saying that theyll escalate the mass protest movement. Theyll stick to the street to denounce the government, and put pressure on the government. And if it doesnt set aside theyll thing about different kind of escalations. Hashem ahelbarra in sanaa there two american citizens in north korea arrived back in the United States.

We are thankful for their safe return reporter director clapper is James Clapper the director of National Intelligence. He was the highest ranking american to visit pyongyang in more than a decade. Its not clear why clapper was brought in to negotiate or the second reason for officials meeting in pyongyang. Theres speculation that by releasing the men, kim jong un may be trying to soften the countrys image. North korea is facing sanctions because it refuses to stop the programme. And kim and other officials could be referred to the International Criminal court for human rights violations. Neither kenneth bae nor Michael Todd Miller will be prosecuted, but the president obama considerations is warning other americans its not a good idea to visit well, john ever ard is a former British Ambassador to north korea, and believes theres a number of reasons why pyongyang decided to release the two men now. Firstly, the International Situation seems to have turned against north korea. They have watched with anxiety china and japan. They know that president obama will be sitting down with president xi jinping of china shortly, and, of course, their attempts to drive a wedge between china and russia have not gotten anywhere. They have probably calculated that now is not a good time to annoy the yoits by continuing to hold three United States citizens.
