Last year I wrote that this will happen after the UAE announced a 'pullout' from Yemen. Saudi Arabia is increasingly becoming isolated.
The Saudi Arabians and the UAE had ganged up against the Yemenis and began bombing Yemen FIVE years ago. They have caused the genocide of over 100,000 Yemeni people. And they have failed to achieve any of their military or strategic goals - which were non existent anyway. Now after FIVE years of failure and fatigue the Saudi and UAE backed forces have started fighting each other in Yemen.
Here is the story :
News - Yemen
UAE pulled out of power-sharing agreement with Saudi in Yemen
in Nov 2019 UAE and Saudi militants reached deal to end months of infighting
The deal is known as Riyadh Agreement
both agreed to form new national cabinet, and place all their forces under one govt
Thurs UAE negotiating team pulled out of Riyadh Agreement
UAE decision a protest against violence blamed on forces loyal to Saudi
violence part of continuing struggle for influence between Saudi and UAE
UAE accuse Saudi forces of mismanagement and corruption
UAE backed forces want independence for southern Yemen
recently UAE withdrew from Yemen
My comments :
This means that the Saudis are really alone now in the Yemen against the formidable Houthis who have recently announced the acquisition of even more missiles and drones which they will use against the Saudis.
One reason the UAE has pulled out completely from the Yemen conflict is because of the Yemeni threats to deploy their missiles and drones against Abu Dhabi (UAE).
2020 will be decisive for the total defeat and humiliation of Saudi forces inside Yemen, including troops from Pakistan who have been killed or captured by the Yemenis.
As the stomach churns.
