Last December, Saleh called for national dialogue, but on his own terms: the Houthis and the southern leaders are to be excluded from the discussions unless they support the Yemeni constitution that has kept Saleh in power for decades. But Saleh’s hardline approach is failing.
去年 12 月，萨利赫号召举行全国对话，但前提是必须遵守他所制定的章程：胡塞人和南方领袖将被排除在谈判之外，除非他们支持让萨利赫几十年来一直执掌大权的也门宪法。但萨利赫的强硬路线遭到了失败。超过半数的也门领土都脱离了政府控制。
