Sana'a, NewsYemen:

In light of the accelerating dramatic developments in Afghanistan, and Taliban militants entering the Afghan presidential palace in the capital, Kabul, following the departure of President Ashraf Ghani and his aides from the country, the Houthi militia - the Iranian arm in Yemen - attempted to court the Saudi authorities, who have been leading an international coalition to support legitimacy in Yemen since 2015.  .

The Houthi militia was quick to exploit the collapse of the Afghan government, and to try to emulate the Afghan situation with a similar Yemeni case, even from the angle that the coalition to support legitimacy in Yemen abandoned the internationally recognized government of President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, according to agreements that Riyadh and the leaders of the Houthi militia in Sana’a “may reach.”  

Just as the Taliban movement expressed in its first press conference its keenness on good neighborliness and establishing conciliatory relations with the countries of the region, the leader of the Houthi militia, Hussein Al-Ezzi, hastened to court Saudi Arabia, pledging what he described as “good neighborliness” and concluding a “peace, security and safety” agreement with the Saudi government.

Further, Al-Ezzi, appointed as Deputy Foreign Minister in Sana’a, pledged what he called “the rehabilitation, rehabilitation and discipline of those he described as “mercenaries” and their assimilation into the societal fabric as good citizens,” in a sarcastic reference to the regime of President Hadi, which has resided in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, for six years.  Going by.

While the Houthi leader, Hussein Al-Ezzi, claimed that his group would always remain “advocates of peace and security,” he was inspired by the rapid developments in Afghanistan, a speech that was condescending against the legitimate government, saying on Twitter: “If God grants peace to Yemen and its surrounding surroundings, praise and thank God, and be very kind and polite, and there is no need.  At that time, for any rumbling or, God forbid, you will increase in slander.”

Observers see the prominent Qatari presence to restore the Taliban movement to power in Afghanistan, as a common denominator for its sponsorship of chaos and the overthrow of the national state, and their support for political Islam groups in Yemen, specifically the "Brotherhood" and "Houthis" groups for a decade and a half.
