If I were asked to prepare for a final dialogue between the real and effective forces capable of determining the fate of Yemen, I would place only four seats around the table of this difficult dialogue, crowded with sensitive files and geopolitical, security and even social complications.
It does not seem to me that choosing who will occupy these seats is very difficult, as the Yemeni war during eight years produced a very clear map of the active forces on the ground that possess the power and the popular presence in the Yemeni scene, along with other artificial forces that branch out from these four influential forces or some of them and play A role that was drawn for it, either to distract the real image, to confuse it, or to hide behind large banners, and in the end you will find only one hand to hold it in reality.
The joint meeting in Sana'a, until 2011, was the umbrella that buzzed with dozens of illusory components or those that did not have any political or popular presence on the ground, but this political bloc was like a spearhead in confronting the regime of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, until it was overthrown. In the end, at the hands of armed and highly organized forces and organizations that took this bloc and others as a broad title to legitimize the project to overthrow the legitimacy itself, which was represented by the regime at that time. Despite the confusion that is being raised about the nature of this constitutional legitimacy, which the late President Ali Abdullah Saleh continued to cling to until the last moment.
The scene was repeated again, but this time after the September 2014 coup that overthrew the Yemeni state, where new addresses appeared, whether in the Houthi camp or the legitimacy alike. Dozens of addresses emerged for political, tribal and social blocs, hiding behind only one real actor and many artificial tools that The eyes of the international and regional community were deceived, which we clearly witnessed in the past few days when the UN envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, received representatives of dozens of Yemeni political components and forces, who confidently sat around a wide table that brought them together with the UN envoy in a way that suggests that they actually represent real popular movements or currents on the country. land, which most Yemenis know could not be further from the truth.
Hence, Yemenis’ comments on social media sites full of despair and pessimism about the possibility of reaching a political agreement that will save Yemen in the absence of the original actors from the scene, perhaps preoccupied with preparing for new rounds of war and political conflict, while representatives of the artificial components that do not attend are attending on their behalf or on behalf of some of them. You own something from its affairs, how about you own anything from the affairs of Yemen and decide its future!
In the few times that Yemen witnessed an agreement or semi-agreement, even if it was later vetoed, the real forces pushed to sit at the forefront of those dialogues, whether alone or accompanied by their branches and artificial arms, as happened, for example, in the comprehensive National Dialogue Conference in 2013. , or the Kuwait consultations in 2016, and the two occasions, I believe, according to the information I possess and for my participation and attendance at their sessions, were the best Yemeni political dialogues that would have led to a solution had it not been for the last-minute interventions or the intransigence of some ideological projects.
Today, a new version looms on the horizon of the Yemeni consultations under the auspices of the Gulf Cooperation Council, which has a successful experience in Yemen, represented by the Gulf initiative and its executive mechanism that defused a Yemeni civil war in 2011. However, those consultations, which the organizers confirm, will be held with those who attended. Perhaps in reference to the early Houthi rejection, although the matter is not completely excluded in light of what is said about regional pressures being exerted on him to reverse his position.
