The General People’s Congress (GPC) forgets that it last year allied with thirteen different parties (the National Alliance from the opposition) to make a coalition, therefore, making the ruling party coalition a package of (14) heads.
The competition between the authority and the JMP is who can agree on terms with Houthis first. If the opposition succeeds, that would make Houthi the head number (7) in the opposition within the six parties under the umbrella of the JMP, or if the Houthi decides to join the ruling party coalition, he becomes head number (14) in that collation.
The president’s meetings with high-ranking Houthi leaders over the past few weeks do not go out of the course of his visit to Libya to attend the Sirte Summit, nor of the course of his visit to Doha, where he met with Sheikh Hamad, all of that, are messages to the Kingdom, which also followed the publicized agreement between the Preparatory Committee for national dialogue (opposition) and Houthis. All that happened results in one thing; the authority is not able at the moment to restore good relations with Libya and Qatar, nor have an alliance with Houthis.
According to Sheikh Hussein Al-Ahmar, the last Houthi war was directed to take down a number of leading figures and groups in the country.
On the other hand, any form of alliance for the Houthis with the ruling party will be understood among his followers and sympathizers that they fought for nothing, and their sacrifices during the war were not valued.
And in the words of Abdullah bin Mohammed Hamid Al-Din (from the family of the Imams of the house of Hamid-Din, a resident in the Kingdom and holds its nationality), he said in an interview published months ago: “There are two possibilities for the crisis in Yemen: first, an Houthi alliance with Hamid Al-Ahmar and the southern forces to face the President and make pressure on him towards radical political reforms”. It seems that this will happen, but will not last long. The second, which is the fittest in my view, is the President’s alliance with Zaidis and Hashemite in Yemen, but it needs from the President to make serious steps to overcome the humanitarian consequences of the battles.
Here he is sending two messages, first to the President attracting him to make an alliance with the Hashemis and Zaidis; and the second, a sign containing pressure on the President including advice to Houthis to make an alliance with the southern mobility and Hamid Al-Ahmar in case the President does not positively deal with them. Hamid Al-Ahmar is gaining power from his allegiance with the Islah Party, and without the Islah Party, he will only be a normal Sheikh, as all Sheikhs gain support only by allegiance with the power.
Hamid Al-Ahmar wants to reach an agreement with Houthis, to avert expected troubles against his tribe. Also, the Houthi wants to achieve the same goal as it is not in his interest to continue the war against the tribes especially Hashid Tribe.
For its part, the JMP wants to reach a solution to the country’s crisis, and considers the alliance with the Houthi as long as Houthis put down arms, while the Houthi sees that the alliance with JMP is a gateway to the reform of his political situation and a transit through it to another corridor of the Ruling Party.

The JMP and the street...
The current move by the JMP to go towards the street and demand comprehensive reforms will get them more power. But the JMP was very late to move towards the street, and is now going slowly.
In addition, further ignorance to the Southern issue by the JMP will make the authority overcome these crises, and then the JMP will no more be warmly welcomed by the southern people.
