Saudi Arabia calls UAE-backed separatist advance in Yemen threat to national security • FRANCE 24
Saudi Arabia declared a UAE-backed separatist advance in Yemen as a threat to Riyadh’s national security, after a Saudi-led coalition said it struck a UAE weapons shipment destined to Yemen’s STC separatist forces. The latter, backed by Abu Dhabi, are seeking to revive the formerly independent state of South Yemen thirty years after the country’s unification. They made sweeping territorial gains after launching a lightning offensive in recent weeks. Jon Gambrell, Associate Press reporter, tells us more.

Finally someone had to put the UAE in its place
UAE is also controlling the port in Somaliland and indirectly supporting the cessation of this region from Somalia. UAE is now supporting a separatist group known as STC in Yemen. UAE has to be controlled before it will be too late.
Good move
cool, we got iranian backed shiite houthi, israel backed secular yemeni stc, saudi backed og republic of yemen. basically syrian war 2: electric boogaloo
The whole Gulf is under American military occupation they are American military bases
Saudi Arabia the butcher of Yemeni people 😢😢😢
1400 years of inbreeding, muslim countries will never develop.
And here I was praising the monarchies of the Persian Gulf for respecting each other.
UAE is everywhere. It supports Sudan rebels and M23 in Congo.
We'll be lucky if we manage to evict a world war in 2026, there are too many hot conflicts already.
It’s done on purpose so Trump can take credit for finding a truce again, madness
these are the countries that gave the green light to allow to bomb Gaza
Why is Saudi Arabia backing the terrorist groups like Houthis in Yemen? The Houthis need to be wiped out
Iç şarapı sik arabı
UAE is evil and they cause destabilization across the Arab world
Arabian peninsula can unite into one country called United Republic of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 they are all Muslims and speak Arabic. They have so much in common I don't understand why they are fighting each other.
Finally their mercenaries (jihadi fighters) can leave Africa for the battle for Arabia.
Abou lou lou is returning home!
Looking forward to seeing everyone flee Dubai and Abu Dhabi as soon as the first Saudi bomb falls.
Mightn't be the worst start to 2026…😂
B-but arent UAE and KSA like boyfriends to each other united against common enemy of Iran?
OPEC Oil Cartel😂😂😂😂
They want to keep stealing South yemen's oil.
The southern are not a threat to Saudi security at all.
All they did was take over their land.
They did not even enter Saudi land.
So Yemen is split into iran backed houthis, uae backed stc, saudi backed govt(which is obvio a failed state)
Just let them not just fight but end each other
The UAE seems desperate for its destruction. But millions are seeking justice.
The oil is drying up?!
Saudi Arabia bombed Yemen using US supplied aircraft
From Somaliland we support the stc ✊🏽✌🏽
Saudi arabia can suck it.
UAE backed soldiers are beating up Saudi led coalition soldiers
Emiratis on the news for all negative reasons. Very sad
I'm with the UAE on this one. The STC controls almost all of 'south yemen' and should be left to have their own country. arm them, let them keep the houthis out. This makes me wonder what back room deal the sauds have with the houthis after their ceasefire.
