Description
Yemen's New Cease-Fire with Houthi Rebels: Will it Stick? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. In the Yemeni government's ongoing battle with the Zaydi Shiite rebels known as the Houthis, more than one ceasefire has been brokered and broken, with both sides bearing responsibility for the instability that has resulted. But there are reasons to believe that a new cease-fire agreement, signed on June 21, has real sticking power despite past misadventures in peacemaking between the two bitter enemies. The full text of the 22-point agreement, which was printed in pro-Saudi pan-Arab daily ASHARQ AL AWSAT and then subsequently run in Yemen's MAREB PRESS on July 7, contains some important moves that could help end a war in one region of what some have called a "failing state" and even a "new Afghanistan". At the very least, coupled with external pressures on both the Houthis and the Sanaa government, this agreement could ensure a measure of calm in Yemen's northern provinces, besieged by all sides and economically devastated over the past six years.
