Until the Houthis come to the negotiating Table the Yemen people will keep dying

Fahad Nazer, a terrorism analyst at the Virginia-based consultancy JTG and a former political analyst at the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington, believes the air strikes will not end soon, and he puts the blame squarely on Yemen's Houthi rebels. "The Houthis seem to be well dug in," Nazer observes. "They don't seem to be particularly interested in conceding anything or going back to the negotiating table at this point." He says that until the Houthis agree to pull back their fighters from Yemen's cities, then Saudi Arabia is not likely to change its strategy.

Who's winning the war in Yemen?

Since neither the Houthis nor the Saudis are winning it means the Yemen people are starving and dying. Because until the Houthis come to the negotiating table with Saudi Arabia, the Saudis have no reason at all to stop bombing market areas in large cities which prevents anyone from buying food.
