The Jordan Times: The dangerous repercussion of the failure of renewed truce in Yemen

To remember

• After  six-month truce > Yemeni government + Houthis failed to extend nationwide ceasefire => lead Yemen towards another chapter of violent escalation within protracted civil war.
• failure in renewing truce => increase tension + push both parties to adopt escalatory approach with higher tendency to use power in a very evident way.
• pave the way for criminal + terrorist groups to reemerge & benefit from escalation = Al Qaeda in Arabian Peninsula
• instability in Iran involved + in conflict with Kurds in north of Iraq => impact the region
• Iraq going through phase of wide political instability => add more protagonists to wide regional scene of instability.
• risk of stable Gulf countries caught again in crossfire of Houthis from Yemen + militias from Iraq.
• failure to save truce in Yemen => add more complexity to whole scene in Middle East + turn country into a location of ferocious proxy war
