The military intervention by Saudi Arabia in Yemen is ringing alarm bells not only around the troubled Middle East but also in the entire world, especially in Pakistan.

The ruling elite is requested to encourage dialogue and reconciliation between the warring parties because a long war can put at stake the peace, progress and economy of the world.
