Saudi Arabia declares the end of the bombing in Yemen

The military campaign in Yemen, Saudi Arabia, with the help of Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Sudan and Morocco, ended after 27 days of air strikes and shelling, which led the country to a serious humanitarian crisis. It was a marked action on religious and geopolitical, which were aimed to prevent the Shiite minority and then to Iran, to take over the country. The Sunni coalition wanted to maintain control of a strategic area, even for the trade routes, which are directed from the Red Sea to the Suez Canal. According to the Saudis, the military objectives would be achieved with the destruction of heavy weapons in rebel hands Houti. The final outcome of the operation is about more than 900 deaths and more than 3,400 injured, according to estimates by the World Health Organization. Ended the military phase, which does not mean a resumption of hostilities in the event of new needs, Saudi Arabia now intends to tackle the problem in a different way, starting with the reconstruction of the country of Yemen. The intention is to use a set of tools made up of military measures, political and diplomatic, which will serve to combat terrorism, not just the rebels Houti, but also that of Al Qaeda, traditionally strong on the ground in Yemen, as requested by Washington, provide humanitarian aid to the population, consisting of medical care and food, and provide help to foreigners still in the area. However Houti, to which the United Nations Security Council has imposed an embargo on arms supplies possible, still maintain control of the capital, which does not seem at all recaptured; it is likely that the Saudis intend now, open a new phase, which gives more autonomy to the minority, which remains, however, a third of the country. This is also because the Hout, although Shiites, do not really have asked for the support of Iran, being quite independent from Tehran. Iran would have assumed the role of their protector independently and with functional purposes to their own interests, taking advantage of the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne and the military successes achieved on the ground against the caliphate. The problem of Hout in Yemen is a constant of the internal politics of the country and is, in fact, untied from the comparison between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Were the contingent conditions, caused by the signature on the preliminary negotiations about the Iranian nuclear and military advance against the Islamic state to provoke a reaction from the Saudi, who anticipated every possible form of interference in Tehran, which would allow the country to extend the Shia its influence on Yemen, which, remember, two-thirds is populated by Sunnis. Despite the end of the aerial operations, military measures will be maintained on the sea, with the naval blockade of the country; This measure is intended to prevent any action of the Iranian navy, already present in the Gulf of Aden, with the justification to be engaged in actions against piracy naval. If behind these actions there was the fear of an advanced Iranian, bear in mind the economic and social situation of the country of Yemen, which remains one of the poorest in the region, with obvious problems of distribution of resources, a factor that seems to underlie the Houti rebellion, which gave rise to the conflict. But this was an opportunity for Saudi Arabia to restore its zone of influence, preventing the country would encounter a drift of terrorists, with Al Qaeda poised to exploit the institutional chaos and, at the same time, put things clear with Iran, which is already too much foam in Iraq.
