Not recovering from the last military humiliation had imposed, there are six years in Yemen, tribal fighters Houthis, the royal family of Saudi Arabia has embarked on a business that is most likely becoming a "Vietnam" Saudi Arabia: I want to talk about their attempt to invade Yemen.
In 2009, the incompetence of the Saudi army was brought to light when their major offensive against the Houthis along the border Saudi Arabia / Yemen was postponed and in the cons-offensive that followed the fighters Houthis, lightly armed, conquered a large piece of Saudi territory.
The last time a "pan-Arab army" tried to invade and occupy Yemen, in the 1960s, Nasser, the Egyptian general became president, was finally forced, tail between legs, to withdraw his army of over 50,000 men in what became the "Vietnam of Egypt" as he himself later admitted sadly.
The problems in Yemen do not come from an opposition between Shiites and Sunnis or between Iran and Saudi Arabia. They do not just Obama, whose administration was particularly incapable forced to sit on the bench and watch the Saudi royal family to embark on this crazy adventure.
The problems in Yemen are all from tribal conflicts that go back centuries, and the only way to solve them is to begin a long and tedious process of negotiation. In 1990, a peace agreement which led to the reunification of Yemen had emerged with great difficulty. It was this peace agreement, which held more than two decades, the mediation of what was then the command of a band of ragged fighters for independence who called the Eritrean Liberation Front Peoples, a fact that has yet to be recognized by those covering the current conflict.
Saudis launch this war against the Yemeni people through pride and arrogance, but also a kind of paranoia: they fear supposed to be surrounded by a ring of "enemies Shiite-led Iran" that is, At least that would have us believe the talking heads of the Western media.
In fact, the Saudi royal family is filled with an unquenchable hatred Wahhabi anything resembling a Shiite movement, although historically the Shia Western Asia did not consider Yemeni Houthi Shia as true.
Saudi paranoid fear of Iran has no real basis, because Iran does not threaten Saudi Arabia. Iran has also not even supported the Shiite uprising in Bahrain. Despite all the talk about the Iranian military support for the conquest of Yemen Houthi, the evidence to support this accusation lacking.
The Houthis, who had tired of being constantly overlooked by the Yemeni government and wanted to end a policy that leads to famine in Yemen, have reached an agreement with former President Saleh, whose son led the Yemeni army at the time of the agreement that Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states have swallowing force the Yemeni there two years ago, and launched an offensive to take over the country.
Since the beginning the Houthis are demanding negotiations while clearly saying they will not allow the Wahhabis "Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula" (the group is mainly composed of Saudi fanatics in exile) to remain in Yemen.
Having already suffered a military humiliation in 2009, and fearing to be seen as weak and incapable by the Shiite minority subject located on the oil lands of eastern Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Wahhabi regime launched which all chance to become their "Vietnam".
Of course, they do it under cover of a pan-Arab banner with Egypt that promises troops to support the invasion and occupation of Yemen future.
Al Sisi, the last Egyptian general to become president, is a particularly reluctant ally, because it was raised in the memory of the humiliating defeat of Egypt when she tried to submit Yemen. It is not by chance that there was only a few weeks, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states have sent their leaders to Sharm al Sheikh to announce more than 20 billion dollars in aid and investment to bail out the ailing economy of Egypt, in hard cash that President Al Sisi came begging hat in hand.
According to the news, the war raged Yemeni-Saudi border, and it is interesting to note that the Saudi army has not yet made serious progress here. Since most of the Houthi fighters regrouped to take assault of Aden in southern Yemen oil, the Saudi military attempted to invade the heart of the Houthi territory is not very conclusive.
At this point, the Saudi army is mainly book air massacre defenseless people of Yemen. If and when the promised land offensive begins in earnest, we will see seasoned Houthi militias to fight against a supposedly pan-Arabian army has little experience of real war. With, in front of her, warriors who defend their homes and families, such as Viet Kong to Vietnam, Saudi Arabia will be found in a Yemeni quagmire will be his "Vietnam".

Maybe he's anxious that Berbers could meet Huthis fate.
