People don'r know what UAE is doing in Yemen.
They cut the country in half and fund both sides of the war so that they can control their ports and economic lifeline.
They have secret prisons run by black ater mercenaries where anti UAE prisoners are raped by Nigerian prison guards.
If they can do this to Arab brother what do you think they will do to non arab Ajami?
UAE has failed in Somalia they did everything to overthrow our gov or destabilize popular gov.but our public said to UAE fuk off.amazing how a country like UAE has slipped into degeneracy.
The good news is yemen is an empire graveyard.

How is it, after 3 years....UAE and Saudi cannot eject the Houthi's out of Saana. It incredibly embarrassing and says alot about the quality of gulf military's.
They are so poor they have to send black mercenaries into Yemen, to fight bare footed militia, and to kill people.

Sudan assessing military participation in Yemen: defense minister
KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Sudan is assessing its participation in Saudi-led military operations in Yemen, its defense minister said on Wednesday, amid growing discontent in parliament over high costs and the deaths of dozens of Sudanese soldiers.
Sudan has at least 3,000 ground troops and several fighter jets fighting in Yemen as part of the Saudi-led alliance. Dozens of Sudanese soldiers have been killed on key coastal battlefronts, local and Yemeni media have reported, while Khartoum is struggling with a severe hard-currency shortage.
“We are conducting studies and assessments these days about the participation of Sudanese forces in Yemen,” Defence Minister Ali Salem told parliament.
“This involves various sides, the negatives and positives of the participation, and then we will take a decision that will benefit the country and its stability.”
He said the armed forces command was preparing a study on Sudan’s role in the coalition and would complete it soon.
Sudan sent troops to Yemen with the Saudi-led coalition that intervened in the civil war in 2015 against Iran-aligned Houthis who had captured most of the main populated areas of the country and forced President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi into exile.
Sudan’s foreign currency crunch arose from decades of U.S. sanctions. Khartoum has been expecting financial support from wealthy Gulf Arab states involved in the coalition but few funds have trickled into the sprawling country of 40 million people.
Sudanese parliamentarian Hassan Othman Rizq, who has spearheaded a campaign for withdrawing forces from Yemen, told Reuters the decision to dispatch troops there was illegal because lawmakers had not approved it.
“Sudanese troops are stationed on hot battlefronts, and thus they are sustaining higher losses,” Rizq said.
“Sudan had not benefited economically from the participation, unlike (other) countries that did not send troops but are getting financial support,” he added, alluding to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
There was no immediate comment from the Saudis and UAE.

DUBAI: The Yemeni army has taken full control of Al-Nar mountain range, east of Harad, in the province of Hajjah, following fierce battles with the Iran-backed Houthi militia, Saudi state-news channel Al-Ekhbariya reported.
The commander of the Special Forces Brigade said in a statement issued by the Yemeni Ministry of Defense website that the forces liberated the mountain range extending more than 12 kilometers and linking Saada province to Hajjah.
Riyadh -- The Saudi Royal Air Defense Forces intercepted and destroyed a Houthi ballistic missile targeting the city of Khamis Mushayt, south of the Kingdom.
Two missiles were fired by Iran-backed terrorist Houthi militias from inside Yemeni territories (specifically from Saada governorate) toward the southern borders of Saudi Arabia, where one missile was intercepted and destroyed while the other landed in an unpopulated desert area in Khamis Mushayt.
Coalition Spokesman Col. Turki Al-Malki said that one missile was intercepted at 18:14 hours local time while the other failed to target any populated areas of the city after landing in a desert area.
No casualties or damages were reported, until the preparation of this report.
Col. Al-Malki added that this hostile act by the Iran-backed terrorist Houthi militias proves the continuous involvement of the Iranian regime in supporting the armed Houthi militias with qualitative capabilities in a clear and flagrant violation of the UN Security Council resolutions 2216 and 2231.
Their goal is to undermine the security of the Kingdom as well as regional and global security.
The firing of ballistic missiles towards populated cities and villages is in contravention of humanitarian international laws, Al-Malki stressed.
Earlier this month, Saudi Royal Air Defense Forces intercepted two ballistic missiles fired by the Houthis towards Najran, and another towards Jazan.

RIYADH: Saudi-led Coaltion spokesperson Col. Turki Al-Maliki said during a press conference on Monday that a Turkish ship carrying wheat was attacked by a missile recently off the port of Hodeidah.
Al-Maliki told a news conference that the Turkish ship was attacked by a missile launched from Hodeidah.
Al-Maliki said the Houthi militia, who claimed responsibility, was preventing relief aid reaching Yemenis during Ramadan and continued to use civilians as human shields on the front lines.
He announced the opening of an aid center of the King Salman Center on the island of Socotra. He also confirmed that a number of villages in the Saada governorate had been secured and the Yemeni flag had been raised.
Al-Maliki said the situation was safe on the Saudi-Yemeni border and that the morale of the militia fighters had collapsed.
WASHINGTON: The United States on Tuesday imposed sanctions on five Iranians it said had provided Yemen’s Houthis with expertise and weaponry that were then used to launch missiles at cities and oil infrastructure in Saudi Arabia.
In a statement, the US Treasury named the individuals as Mehdi Azarpisheh, Mohammad Jafari, Mahmud Kazemabad, Javad Shir Amin, and Sayyed Mohammad Tehrani. It said the first four individuals had worked with the Houthis through Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, while Tehrani had helped with the financing of the Revolutionary Guard.
The fresh sanctions, part of President Donald Trump’s pledge to economically suffocate Iran in hopes of hampering the country’s development of nuclear weapons, come one day after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the United States would soon crack down on Iran’s support for the Houthis. Yemen’s government has been pitched against the Iran-aligned Houthi movement since 2015 in a war driving the country to the verge of famine.

Aden — Five people were killed and 22 wounded by a Houthi missile fired at the Yemeni city of Marib, the SABA news agency reported on Tuesday.
“Iran-backed Houthi launched a Katyusha missile targeting a crowded popular market in the city center of Marib, killing 5 people and wounding 22,” SABA said.
Meanwhile, spokesman of the Coalition to restore legitimacy in Yemen Col. Turki Al-Malki said investigations into a Turkish ship explosion last week showed that it was a deliberate attack launched from Hodaidah Port.
He said the Houthi militias bear the responsibility for violating international laws and the Law of the Sea.
During a regular press conference, Col. Al-Malki said Hodaidah Port became a point for smuggling ballistic missiles and for hostilities in the Red Sea and the Bab Al-Mandab strait.
The targeting of the Turkish ship will have grave repercussions on the environment as well as maritime safety, he added.
Col. Al-Malki said investigations into all the data that led to the explosion did not find suspicious material on the ship, which was carrying wheat from Russia.
According to the ship’s captain and its crew, a boat approached it within four nautical miles on the radar before disappearing as the ship was attacked by a missile, which penetrated the outer wall of the hull and damaged the tank on the side of the ship’s wall.
Col. Al-Maliki relayed the Yemeni government announcement that Houthi militias have detained many relief convoys and have prevented relief teams from moving inside Yemen.

Yemen’s army said units from the “rapid intervention forces” were currently positioned in Al-Durayhmi and were ready to enter the strategic port city of Hodeidah from the south.
Yemeni army spokesman Abdo Abdullah Majali told Asharq Al-Awsat on Wednesday that the rapid intervention forces are trained to fight inside small neighborhoods and hunt down Houthi militias hiding in fortified buildings. He added that they would work to clear these buildings in preparation for the army’s entry into Hodeidah and its liberation while ensuring that residents remained safe.
Majali added that the liberation of Hodeidah would help the army to advance on several other Yemeni cities because of its strategic position as a port city and its proximity to Taiz, Ibb, Al-Mahwit, Dhamar, and Hajjah.
At least 53 rebels died in fighting in Hodeidah on Wednesday while seven pro-government fighters were killed and 14 wounded, according to medical sources.
A military source told Asharq Al-Awsat that the Houthi militias experienced heavy losses on fronts in the province of Saada as a result of confusion and panic.
The source added that these losses prevented the Houthis from sending military reinforcements to confront Arab coalition forces heading toward Hodeidah from the western coast.
In a phone call to Hodeidah’s governor on Wednesday, Yemen’s Prime Minister Ahmed bin Daghr praised the country’s army and the Popular Resistance for their competent role in combating Houthi militias which he said are losing strength every day.
