6/24/21 Nasser Arrabyee: Roadblocks to Peace in Yemen
Nasser Arrabyee comes on the show for an update about Yemen. There seems to be some promise of a real peace negotiation, Arrabyee says, though it’s hard to get both sides to see eye to eye on the realities of the situation. The Houthis, as Arrabyee explains, feel they can negotiate from a place of strength, since they have controlled most of the country for the last few years. They are demanding that Saudi Arabia lift the blockade as a condition of sitting down to peace talks. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, has tried to make demands of their own, since they are on the side of the nominal government and are allied with the U.S. Arrabyee and Scott agree that one of the key factors in pushing a peaceful end to this war across the finish line is American peace activists putting pressure on their politicians, such that Saudi Arabia no longer has strong U.S. support, and must end its unjust persecution of the Yemenis.
Discussed on the show:
- “End of Yemen quagmire? Saudi-led coalition, Houthis near peace deal” (Reuters)
- “Saudi-Led Coalition, Yemen’s Houthis Working on Peace Deal” (News From Antiwar.com)
- The War Nerd on Twitter
Nasser Arrabyee is a Yemeni journalist based in Sana’a, Yemen. He is the owner and director of yemen-now.com. You can follow him on Twitter @narrabyee.

Ron Paul is correct that groups who engage in suicide terrorism can only recruit in the name of fighting against foreign occupation — rather than devotion to any religion, promises of virgins in Heaven or a plot to take over the world — and why our government’s denial of this fact and its policy of regime change puts Americans in greater danger.
