While Saudi Regime Live Critical Situation, UAE Increases its Control of Southern Yemen
There is no separate between what is going on in the southern and eastern Yemeni governorates from the conflict of countries of Aggression, specifically Saudi Arabia and the Emirates. Each country has its own ambitions, by virtue of the geopolitics that these governorates enjoy, like their location, ports and beaches overlooking 3 sea fronts extending from the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea to the Indian Ocean, in addition to the oil and gas wealth of those provinces.
The competing countries realize that whoever is tightly controlling them will have the power and regional presence, which explains the competition of many countries, directly or through proxies, to control this important geographical area of Yemen.
Based on the theory of the role in international relations, we can begin to identify the most prominent countries that play roles in southern and eastern Yemen, some of them are public and apparent, such as the US, Britain, Saudi Arabia and the Emirates, and some are hidden behind humanitarian organizations, such as Turkey, which recently entered from the humanitarian gate with Islah Party, which is affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood.
It is known that the UAE has the most prominent role in the power struggle equation, by recruiting thousands of people from the southern governorates, arming them, training them, in Aden, Abyan, Lahj, Al Dhale’e, Socotra and a large part of Shabwa and Hadramout.
They implement what Abu Dhabi demands, in coordination with The American and the British, who also have military bases in Hadramout, Al-Mahrah and Socotra (for strategic goals serving their interests, and tactical ones related to military and intelligence work in the southern and eastern governorates.
Then comes Saudi Arabia, which built military bases in provinces that are already away from the course of war and conflict, in order to achieve its historical ambitions to create a presence on the Arabian Sea, and to extend an oil pipeline from Saudi Arabia to the Arabian Sea to enrich it From the Strait of Hormuz. It has been seeking to implement the project since the 1980s, as revealed by the former southern president, Ali Nasser Muhammad.
With this background, the southern governorates cannot witness sustainable and viable stability, in light of the large gap between the parties to the crisis, and Riyadh cannot succeed in ending the conflict, due to the historical disagreement and the association with a number of regional and international parties
In political timing, the UAE is aware of the critical situation facing Saudi Arabia, which is besieged by a number of crises and surrounded by many issues internally and externally, which prompted it to instruct its first man in the south to announce the new plan for building a “federal state.” A year and a half later, the Riyadh Agreement was signed, and the Saudi regime failed to solve the crisis.
Although some believe that matters favor the Transitional, which has the strongest military and security presence on the ground, at the expense of the Hadi group and the “Islah” in the north and south, taking advantage of the erosion of the latter’s fortunes in the field and politically in the south, as well as in Marib; Their last strongholds are in the northern Yemeni governorates. We see that the fortunes of both sides are eroding, and their future is blown by the winds, because they are dependent on foreigners and do not have their decision, which opens the doors to rising national forces that extricate the southern governorates from their tense and troubled reality.
