Description
Dr Andreas Krieg, Dr Majoub Zweeri & Marwan Bishara on the developing news story of Ali Abdullah Saleh being killed in Sanaa throwing Yemen into an even bigger state of turmoil.
Dr Andreas Krieg, a political analyst from King's College London, said the "short term in Yemen will be a state of insecurity worse than before".
"Saleh was an integrator. The Houthis killing him takes the glue out of the equation," Krieg told Al Jazeera.
Though it remains unclear if alliances on the ground will shift, Krieg believes it is bound to happen.
"Coalition bombing was bad enough, now there will be a new level of civil war," he said.
Saudi Arabia wants to pull out of the "expensive" conflict, but now there is "no way out of the war for the coalition", Krieg added.
