I can already imagine Saudi forces leaving all these equipment behind running away in case they ever try to use them in Yemen.

Can you share the World Bank report that is being sourced. Because claiming KSA has the lowest poverty rate among the Arab worlds makes no sense. Because part of the Arab world is Qatar which has the third highest per capita income in the world due to their very high oil reserves in comparison to their very small population.

The same is probably true for the other small GCC countries, so I don't see how KSA has the lowest poverty rate in the Arab world. Already, that news report seems suspect.

But then you look at
List of countries by percentage of population living in poverty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And you don't even see Saudi Arabia listed, because there aren't good data released by the government regarding poverty, so this makes the initial report even more suspect.

Then I looked at this UN report on poverty, again couldn't find any data on Saudi Arabia,
http://www.un.org/esa/socdev/rwss/docs/2010/chapter2.pdf

Its very possible that World Bank released such a report, but given that very few credible data is available on Saudi's poverty rate plus the fact that it seems very unlikely that KSA has less poverty than Qatar, we could come to the conclusion that your source has faults

Arab world here is the wider Arab world according to the population and in reality Saudis are the richest of all the Arab countries not only because of the oil reserves but even the money which comes from the Piligrims.

Qatar cant be compare with Saudi Arabia in any case.

Saudi soldiers are no Maliki soldiers who ran in their underpants against a force of some hundred

Maliki soldiers or not, they were local forces from Tikrit and Mosul, which are Sunni populated cities. But I agree, it was also a coward move, I'd say more like treason rather than running. Treason of fifth columns among Iraqi army. Iraqi army is now mostly recycled from that trash, but there is still some work to do.

Guys, guys. I understand that you're upset and trying to underestimate enemies strength. Nevertheless, that should not make you give up using your brains... I mean, you've been praying for Saudi ground force in Yemen after the humiliating results so far. I'd like to invite you to remind your Huthi brothers that they share 1600km long borders with Saudi Arabia which is just next to their stronghold, Sadaa. They can any time fight Saudis on ground at least like Hizbullat acted with Israel. Remind them as well that the topography there is mountainous and in their favor.
Losers, you're acting like KSA is in another continent attacking from overseas.

They why don't they? Just explain. And Houthis are Arabs, they're supposed to be YOUR brothers. They're exactly the same race as Saudis, Arabs stem from what is today Yemen. Just because they're a religious minority, doesn't make them another race.

They are worst than Persians and Israelis in our eyes (despite being Arabs themselves). They vountraily accepted slavery to the Persians so their "Arabness" doesn't help them. Quite the opposite actually.

The dogs of Jordan disown who? You're nothing more than a protectorate. The Yemeni people are a very VERY proud people, who fear nobody.

So Saudi hated the Houthis before the last couple of years? Are you stupid? So let's say somebody with a sword forced a group of people to become Shia's a couple hundred or even a thousand years ago. Do you still need to hate their descendants for what happened so long ago? How idiotic is that?

Their Shiasim isn't the issue here. You know that already, but you pretend that you don't to try playing the Shia card again (as it has more supporters than the Persian nationalistic card). I can imagine that you personally, being a Dutch-Persian, would have a very limited relation with religion all together (in addition to being born for an ex-communist father). So your religious "gherat" is very artificial. The Houthis problem is that they are the Yemeni franchisee of the IRGC. That's why you guys are crying for their pain. We have a number of franchisees for the IRGC in the Middle East right now. Hezbollah of Lebanon is one (and perhaps the oldest and most loyal), and countless other militias in both Iraq and Syria. All are funded and armed by one source, namely the IRGC, and all serve one purpose, i.e. the Persian proxy expansion.

Indeed, I'm not religious. And I'm not all Iranian. But that's beside the point. I indeed do wish for the well being of Iran. Is that hard to grasp? And no, I don't want any expansionist policy from Iran either, but I do think it should have allies, as have all countries. The sad part is, YOUR country is allied with ISIS and Al Qaida. We'll one day they are going to get you, mark my words. You can't ally with Frankenstein.

New UN envoy lands in rebel-held Yemen capital ahead of truce | Mid-East | Saudi Gazette
SANAA — The newly appointed UN envoy to Yemen arrived in the rebel-held capital Sanaa on Tuesday, hours before the scheduled start of a five-day ceasefire, an airport official said.

Mauritanian diplomat Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, who was appointed in late April, toured Gulf countries that have waged a more than six week air war against the rebels before travelling to Sanaa.

The ceasefire was scheduled to enter effect at 11:00 pm (2000 GMT). — AFP

Yemen’s deposed president Ali Abdullah Saleh Monday declared his support for Houthi militias after raids from the Saudi-led coalition on his house in Sanaa.

“I was not an ally of Ansar Allah [the Houthis ] but today I am announcing from this place that Yemenis will be supportive of anyone who defends the nation’s resources,” the deposed leader said
