| Yemen's South Calls for UN-Sponsored Self-Determination Referendum |
| 2015-01-30 |
| [YEMENONLINE.INFO] The north of Yemen has been embroiled in unrest between the Shia Houthis and the Sunni government which resigned last week The Southern bloc in Yemen's parliament yesterday called on the UN Security Council and the Gulf Cooperation Council to enable the people of the south to exercise self-determination through an UN-supervised referendum. Since the resignation of President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi on Thursday, the south's factions and political forces have held talks in Aden with the aim of unifying their efforts in preparation for declaring the region's secession. The deep crisis that has swept the north of Yemen, as a result of Houthis' incursion into the country's capital Sanaa and other areas has narrowed the gap between the factions of the south, which had previously been divided over their region's fate. The south's radical camp has found itself aligned with the other southern factions that had supported the central government in the context of a federation of six provinces. Through the intensive talks held in Aden, the south's factions are capitalising on the chaos sweeping the north by seeking to settle the divisions between the proponents of autonomy and complete independence on the one hand and those who support returning to the 1900 pre-unification southern state. |

| #1 As per prior GROONG, NET Artics, ONLY GCC MILPOL INTERVENTION CAN LIKELY SAVE YEMEN FROM THE HOUTHI REBS??? But-t-t, the GCC is led by the Saudis whom are not likely to send any KSA Milfors into Yemen, nor ask the GCC Member-Staes to do same, iff Pro-Houthi Iran doesn't send its Milfors into Yemen or any of the lessor Emirates = Sheikdom's. This again leaves the ISIS/ISIL and ISIS Qaeda BFF Al-Nusra as Sunni-majority Yemen's only remaining hope to stave off the Houthis - ANY ISIS, AL-NUSRA THREAT TO LOCAL HOUTHIS OR OTHER SHIAS IS VERY LIKELY TO RESULT IN DIRECT IRANIAN MIL INTERVENTION, WHICH IN TURN IS LIKELY AGAIN TO INDUCE A DIRECT SAUDI COUNTER-RESPONSE. The above is a DANGEROUS LITMUS TEST to Globalist Obama's FP approach of seemingly allegedly maintaining traditional or historical US "Sole" Superpower credibility while simul causing the US to pull back = reduce its Power-n-Influence across the World. AS POTEN EXISTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AS ANYTHING WID PUTINIST RUSSIA IN THE UKRAINE-CRIMEA, AND ESPEC VEE RISING CHINA OVER IN EAST ASIA-PACIFIC. BETTER KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED AND HOPE THE BAMMER + OWG GLOBIES FTLG DIDN'T MISCALCULATE. |
