It´s
not a great idea to have a coalition of Sunni Arab states deeply involved in
war operations inside Yemen. They are fighting the Shia-inspired Houthi rebels,
who are seen as promoting Iran´s interests in the vital region that Yemen
controls. But they have never engaged any action against the extremists of
Al-Qaeda who have been operating in Yemen for a number of years and are a real
threat to regional peace and stability.
Yemen
is now a chaotic state. It needs all support it can get to bring the different
ethnic and religious factions to the dialogue table and also to effectively
combat the extremists. These are indeed the couple of priorities that should be
in the minds of those who have some kind of influence in the region.
