Saudi, UAE Proxy War Continues in Southern Yemen

The Saudi coalition, backed by remnants of the Yemeni National Army and resigned President Hadi’s loyalists, are trying to bully the UAE-backed Southern Resistance and Hadhrami forces in southern Yemen in a heated conflict escalating after the UAE’s release of ex-President Saleh’s son , the Yemeni ambassador to the UAE.

Adding fuel to the fire in southern Yemen, the Saudi-coalition has aligned itself with Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), as alleged by the UAE-backed Hadhrami forces.

With the Houthi alliance attempting to take the Mocha Port in southwest Yemen, the Saudi coalition could find itself in a heap of trouble if the Southern Resistance and Hadhrami forces, supported by the UAE, withdraw their support from this region.
