Yemen has formed a government able to negotiate peace; Saudi are disturbed, US should be thankful. Is it?

Yemeni have formed a government backed by Houthi and the Yemen's military who remained loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.  Any peace process that did not include Saleh is going to fail.

Here are two versions of event.

The First from the Washington Post ,an outlet with a Neocon bias.

Yemen rebels, allies form a government, deepening rift

By Ahmed Al-Haj | AP November 28

SANAA, Yemen — Yemen’s Houthi rebels and allies from the ousted president’s party have formed a new government, deepening divisions in the Arab world’s poorest nation.

Houthis and their allies from ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh’s General People’s Congress party announced late Monday the formation of the so-called [ask yourself, why folks in New York say "so-called'] National Salvation Government, the second in Yemen, based in the capital Sanaa.

Yemen has an internationally-recognized government based in the southern city of Aden.

The announcement came at a time that U.S.-backed, U.N.-mediated peace efforts have faltered.

The Houthis launched an offensive from their northern enclave in 2014 to take Sanaa and much of northern Yemen. The rebels forced President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi to flee the country and seek shelter in Saudi Arabia. A Saudi-led coalition, mostly consisting of Arab Gulf states [backed with bombs and information provided by the United States and Great Britain] subsequently intervened in Yemen, launching a punishing air campaign against the Houthis.

The second is from Aljazeera, published in Qatar, a memner of the Saudi-lead coalition that is destroying Yemen.  It probably shares the Washington Post's biases.

Yemen: Houthi rebels form new government

Spokesperson for President Hadi says move shows disregard for Yemeni people and international community.

Yemen's armed Houthi rebels and their political allies have formed a new government, the rebel-run state news agency Saba reported, in what appeared a blow to UN-backed efforts to end 20 months of war in the country.

The Supreme Political Council, a body through which the Iran-backed [sic.  See Iran not to blame for Yemen] Shia  rebels have been ruling parts of Yemen, announced the new government on Monday.

"The [Council] meeting stressed that the government, which was formed amid the difficult conditions experienced by the country, is tasked with putting in order the internal situation and confronting the aggression," Saba news agency reported.

"The Council noted that this comes amid the intransigence of the aggression and its [Yemeni] mercenaries to move within the framework of a national solution ... to spare the country further bloodshed and destruction."

Rajeh Badi, a spokesperson for the government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, said the move showed "a disregard not just for the Yemeni people, but also for the international community".

"It's been over a year and a half since the Houthi militia's coup, no one in the international community has recognised the entities they have formed," Badi added.

Diplomats had hoped the Houthis, who control the capital Sanaa, would hold off on putting together a cabinet of their loyalists and instead form a unity government with their Yemeni foes.

The Houthis, who control territory with more than half of Yemen's population, previously said forming a government with their allies did not mean abandoning the UN-sponsored peace process.

Meanwhile, Yemeni security and medical officials said at least 13 civilians were killed on Saturday in an air strike by the Saudi-led military coalition near the western port city of Hodeida.

The air strike hit two houses in rural areas northeast of the rebel-held city, and the dead included women and children, according to a medical official at al-Thawra hospital.

More than 7,000 people have been killed and nearly 37,000 wounded in the 20-month conflict, according to the UN.
