Saudi, UAE proxy war continues in southern Yemen

 
 
 
 
 
BEIRUT, LEBANON (2:22 P.M.) – The Saudi and Emirati regimes are currently engaged in a proxy war in southern Yemen, as both Gulf nations clash over control of the Aden Governorate.
 

The Saudi-backed Yemeni National Army and Hadi loyalists have attempted to bully the UAE-backed Southern Resistance and Hadhrami forces in southern Yemen, causing a heated conflict that recently intensified after the Emirati government’s release of Ahmed ‘Abdullah ‘Ali Saleh (Yemeni ambassador to the UAE and son of former president), an enemy of the Al-Saud regime.

Adding fuel to the fire in southern Yemen, the Saudi-backed Yemeni National Army has aligned with Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), the UAE-backed Hadhrami forces claimed on Tuesday.

With the Houthi forces attempting to recover the Mocha Port in southwest Yemen, the Saudi-backed Hadi loyalists could find themselves in a world of trouble if the Southern Resistance and Hadhrami forces withdraw their support in this region.
