Yemeni politicians remain hopeful that an expedited pace towards a practical roadmap will ultimately lead to the restoration of peace and the end of the coup that began in late 2014, despite concerns about the Houthi group’s evasiveness and the typical opportunism of the Iranian regime.
Recent regional developments, including the agreement to end the rift between Saudi Arabia and Iran, have bolstered Yemeni hopes for peace. This is based on the assumption that Tehran will exert pressure on the Houthi group to accept a fair peace, as proposed by Saudi and Omani mediators.
