What’s most chilling is how casually this geopolitical reshuffle unfolds atop mass hunger and aid cuts. A decade of Emirati militarization ends in 48 hours, but Yemeni civilians are left with the same instability, higher prices, and even fewer avenues for accountability.
My Adeni son-in-law is a supporter of the separation. Upon asking him if he likes these two, Saudia and UAE, shredding his country instead of fighting eachother on their own land, he shrugged his shoulders. The family members still there just want to be left in peace, if possible with separation, if not without. Just anecdotal, of course.
The UAE is obsessed with Islamists and considers them a mortal enemy. As Andreas Krieg so eloquently described, this realization came with the Arab Spring demonstrations in Egypt. The UAE helped Sisi to come to power. Now, the UAE is fighting Islamists or political Islam worldwide. In Pakistan, they helped the toppling of Imran Khan, who is still in jail.
The fighting between factions of the UAE, Saudis, Yemenis, et al is just mind numbing. They accomplish more dissension and damage, leaving the population of Yemen to flounder unprotected. No one else is reporting this, so thank you for this sad information.

Why are they doing it? Just to remain in power!
