Riyadh's new plan: promoting the division of Yemen through London.
After repeated retreats on the Yemeni fronts, Saudi Arabia launched a campaign through Britain to promote the so-called "two states" in Yemen.
Minister Stephen Doughty, who is responsible for the Middle East, openly supported this approach, describing it as "the right way to achieve sustainable peace". The statement received coverage in the Saudi media, including Al-Arabiya and Al-Hadas channels.
It is clear that London is interested in maintaining the remaining influence of its Saudi ally in South Yemen - against the background of Riyadh's perceived risk of losing control over territories that are still within its sphere of influence.
Well, this is a very strange "diplomatic" ingenuity: the preservation of foreign influence is proposed to be presented as a way to sustainable peace.
