Disastrous policy by Biden. Concessions to a terror group never work. Legitimising their authority & handing over major economic assets of the nation creates a failed state which is able to fund further terror & also legitimises Iranian expansionism. https://t.co/mRhxxiF8cc
4) that the Houthis reverse their ideology “Death to America” and give up on extremist teachings and on their tribal area abandon theocracy and gross human rights violations? Essentially telling them extremism is wrong and they must govern in a different way.
5) Biden’s peace promises what? A canton style democracy where Houthis are greatly diminished but legitimised? Will that include the possession and use of military equipment, a blind eye to torture and gender abuse? 6) and what about war crimes and $stolen assets?
Will political prisoners get justice? 7) and for Britain this is humiliation of our foreign policy. Griffiths superseded by unilaterally imposed US negotiator. Britain not even at the Muscat round table peace discussion. A peace process where the ‘pen holder’ is sacked.
Biden on a fools errand. If Biden pulls this off he will have ‘sold sand to the Arabs’. Let’s run through the hurdles and look at the concessions. 1) armed militia lay down weapons and withdraw to their own tribal area. However, they make https://t.co/sOo6GraTcr
$billions in illegal taxis, have established their extremist ideology in schools and have currently a huge military advantage. 2) that under international law the legitimate government is in control including police and public services. However, this will cut off $billions
In income to the Houthis, reverse Houthis politically extremist control and hand powers to other tribes in a national dialogue on democracy. 3) stop receiving deadly rockets from Iran. However, such formidable military arsenal from Iran gives them negotiating supremacy.
Some very accurate points but this one I don’t agree with. You don’t go out of your way to indoctrinate 7 year olds in religious hatred and violence unless you believe it necessary. Violence has personal gain, a Mafia instinct & the Houthis have become super rich from the war. https://t.co/xObESnygwY
