#SaudiArabia declared its #Yemen's "initiative" to the press but never discussed it with the Yemenite.
Saudi did not declare this media-initiative to please the #US administration because Biden's envoy came to #Oman to discuss with Ansar Alllah the advance toward Marib.

To be clear, the #US negotiators were negotiating on behalf of #SaudiArabia, trying to dictate their conditions on Ansar Allah as if the Saudis were winning the war (the reality is the opposite).
Ansar Allah negotiators are aware of the US tactics +

Actually, we see a #US administration leaving and another coming in but they all follow a book in their wars: what is impossible to gain on the ground using military power, is worth trying using sanctions or humanitarian aids to recover the losses.+

Because #Yemen is part of the "Axis of the Resistance" and understands very well the #US method, all US "conditions" on #Yemen were rejected. Ansar Allah has 70%-80% of the population under their command, making them the legitimate decision-makers, not a militia, in Yemen.

In #Yemen, Ansar Allah has the upper hand and are in a position of strength. Because of this, this #US administration asked twice to negotiate with the Houthis who were careless about Biden's delisting them from Trump's terrorist list so his team could negotiate+

AnsarAllah #Houthis r taking more time than usual to control Marib only coz talks with local tribes r ongoing to avoid civilian casualties & destruction. This is not #SaudiArabia neither the #US concern. However, Houthis are not in a hurry and Marib will be liberated.

Just keep in mind one thing: #SaudiArabia would its genocidal war on #Yemen the moment @JoeBiden gives his order. Delisting the Houthis off the terrorist list serves the US interest only to negotiate with Houthis. Stoping the selling on weapons to Saudi is a show.+

#UK, #Italy, #Germany and #France are still selling weapons and bombs to #SaudiArabia to kill #Yemenite.
Also remember that the #US is negotiating on behalf of #SaudiArabia, making Biden in person responsible for the war.
