Security Council resolution to deploy observers in Hodeidah … Is it working to end the war?
SANAA, Jan. 17 (YPA) – The Security Council on Wednesday issued a decision to deploy 75 observers in Hodeidah province for six months. This decision was ostensibly to prevent the collapse of the cease-fire agreement in Yemen and the general war, which entered its fourth year in a row.
The resolution drafted by the United Kingdom will expand the United Nations monitoring role for another six months and increase the number of observers to 75. United Nations personnel are likely to be relocated from Djibouti to Hodeidah.
The exchange of accusations between the government of national salvation and the government of Hadi contributed to grow conflict in a manner inconsistent with Sweden’s recent negotiations, which put the United Nations in an embarrassing position because it did not succeed even in stopping the attacks of the Saudi coalition on Hodeidah and other Yemeni regions.
At the same time, some tried to exploit the Anad’s air attack , which led to the killing of six, including the commander of military intelligence, Muhammad Saleh Tamah, the Yemeni army confirmed that the strike in Lahj was outside the firing zone, in contrast to the Saudi side, whose aircraft are constantly attacking the areas that have committed to stop beatings since the 18 December last of 2018.
Confidence between the parties to the negotiations is missing:
Alistair Burt, the Middle East affairs minister in the United Kingdom, said on Wednesday that the cease-fire was in place, but “trust between the two parties is missing.”
Peter Salisbury, a senior analyst at the International Crisis Group, said in a recent report, “With the deadline for redeployment now, it was due to be completed by January 8,” – speculation has mounted that the deal could be on the verge of collapse. The Stockholm Convention was incomplete and inaccurate, but it was difficult to reach. If it is allowed to fail, there will be no chance of a similar deal for a long time.
Salisbury added, “Unlike most cease-fire agreements, this agreement did not include technical details on the scope, cessation or duration of the cessation of hostilities.
The Houthi leadership claimed that Patrick Cammaert, the head of the UN committee, had exceeded his powers and that the meetings were held in a Yemeni territory under government control.
Burt also revealed that David Paisley, director of the UN World Food Program (WFP), had spoken this week of “a more positive Houthi stance” toward cooperation on the distribution of humanitarian supplies in their areas.
Jordan’s approval is positive
In another positive step, Jordan agreed to hold talks next week on a broad political exchange of prisoners and prisoners, and it is one of the confidence-building measures that the United Nations hoped to achieve.
Burt described Ansar Allah as an independent mentality and believed that they did not follow Iran but did not reduce Iran’s threat to the Gulf states.
