Saudi Arabia and Huthis

From a colleague in France: "The Saudi government is so humiliated with the advance and success of the (reactionary) movement of the Huthis that its media have
been cheering the Al-Qa`idah threats in Yemen against the Huthis. Often times they are referred to as "tribes of Yemen"."

I don't want to waste your time with details that you are not going to publish, but my daughter, who works for an NGO on Yemen, tells me that the Saudis have been much more flexible with the Houthis than one could imagine. After all, an entity which is capable of taking San'a'
is capable of posing a serious danger to Saudi."
