Yemen Rebels Gain Concessions From Government After Assault on Capital

SANA, Yemen — An assault on Yemen’s capital rocked the transitional government on Sunday as fighters from a Shiite rebel group stormed through the city, seizing government buildings, state media facilities and military bases. The military broke apart, some units appeared to side with rebels, and the prime minister abruptly resigned.

By late Sunday night, President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi announced that the rebels, known as the Houthis, had agreed to an immediate cease-fire and the formation of a new “technocratic national government.” Although the details remained vague, analysts said the Houthis’ control over the capital would give them the upper hand in dictating the terms of any agreement.

“The agreement will, of course, reflect the new realities on the ground, where the Houthis are much stronger than before,” said Ibrahim Sharqieh, a researcher at the Brookings Ins ution’s center in Doha, Qatar, who focuses on conflict resolution. But, he noted, “the Houthis are not yet strong enough that they are able to take power without the other parties.”

AQ never really "held" territory in Afhganistan. They were allowed to be there, and were certainly buddy-buddy with the ignorant s that ran that country, but I can't recall them ever really holding territory in the conventional sense.

AQ never collected taxes, nor did it form the kernel of an aspirant nation. ISIS is something new, and should be worrying everyone. When you start worrying wahhabists, then one should pay attention.

The drumbeat of pronouncements and killings will go on.

Meh

It's better than regurgitating others talking points in a pathetic attempt to tow the party line.
