Is the Gulf States effort in Yemen doomed failure
Published in Alriyadh on 02 - 05 - 2011

GCC have worked hard, mobilized political and legal specialists and used their experience to resolve the dispute between opposition and Ali Abdullah Saleh, the Yemeni President. The case is clear to the Gulf States yet mysterious to the two rival camps. Complexities will remain as long as each party is introducing impossible conditions.
Concessions and recognition of the seriousness of the dispute stretching to the maximum limits is needed. Despite the fact that each party is using his supporters, it is not an easy journey for a country running out of resources, short of the necessary requirements and the long status quo with each party betting on time. This is an error in the content and timing.
Gulf States can only be patient while the President and the opposition present solutions only to maneuver around. They will eventually take the hard decision to withdraw if their efforts reach deadlock while their security is affected by the situation in Yemen. Their mediation, therefore, is not in the favor of the President, or alongside the opposition, but for the Arab diplomacy to succeed in containing dispute to the minimum and reduce the potential damages in full of contradictions and tension Yemen.
Arab issues require an active role in solving the differences and the damage caused by several reasons. However, countries seeking solutions are not always met with positive acceptance and in many cases have to avoid recurring problems. This has been proved wrong in the effort made to solve the problem in Lebanon, Palestine, Western Sahara conflict and the Somali conflict and others. Yemen is no exception unless solution comes in a balanced with amnesty from prosecution of the President or his aides.
Foreign diplomacy interfering with the Arab situation comes with leverage solutions such as political and economic influence, which is the secret of their success, but pan -Arab states with no similar influence are dealing in a language of brotherhood and national interest which has failed to deal with their spirit and goals.
Yemen needs stability for the difficult task of rebuilding while suffering from a shortage of income, unemployment, housing and employment requirements and the reconstruction of the declined infrastructure. Gulf States are well aware of these facts and looking forward to contributing to the solutions and development in Yemen. Such dispute may hinder this project because security is the basis of any durable economic.
We say repeatedly that the Gulf States diplomacy is based on goodwill in the first place with content less initiatives. The first consideration is to save Yemen from any negative repercussions of security, political and economic burden resulting from the interference of regional and external forces.
