A Saudi Arabia-led coalition has ended its bombing campaign against rebels in Yemen having “achieved its military goals”, officials say.
The month-long Decisive Storm campaign had targeted Houthi rebels but largely failed to halt their advance.
A new operation called Restoring Hope will focus on a political solution in Yemen and on counter-terrorism at home, the coalition said.
Iran welcomed the end of air strikes as a step forward.
Sunni-ruled Saudi Arabia has accused Shia-led Iran of backing the Houthis, something Tehran denies.
Yemen has been in chaos since the Houthi, or Zaidi Shia, rebels, took control of the capital, Sanaa, in January and placed President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi under house arrest.

Re: Saudi arab ends yemen campaign
Has the advance of Houthis been halted? Has Hadi returned to the helm? So what exactly have the Saudis achieved so far and whats their road map for the future?

Saudis announce end of bombing, declare success of military campaign in Yemen. Sounds like US in Afghanistan.

Basically Saudia has achieved nothing as yet, the rebels are fighting on ground and there are reports of another strike by the Saudis.

Re: Saudi arab ends yemen campaign
It was hypothesised and accepted that there was an indivisible particle that all matter was built from. Al-Ghazali was making the point that Muslims are so good at dividing amongst ourselves that we could divide the indivisible… he had no idea that it could actually be done.
He would probably be amused that even after managing to actually divide the atom, Muslims continue to be divided.

Re: Saudi arab ends yemen campaign
May be what they mean is they are ending their ‘official’ campaign, as now the unofficial campaign begins: http://www.paklinks.com/gs/world-affairs/655291-isis-arrives-in-yemen.html
Re: Saudi arab ends yemen campaign
“Rental Fauj” would have shown up for the money, but since they didn’t they were acting in the best interest of the region, even if apparently.

As always, you couldn’t be farther from the truth. Saudia is the birthplace of that famed investor, Prince Alaweed, who can make millions out of billions.
