UAE Saudi-Arabia rift in Yemen: from Al-Akhbar

Article translated from Arabic: "On November 10, the Al-Akhbar daily newspaper carried the following report by Ali Jahez: “…The pull out of the “first batch” of Emirati forces from Yemen brought the Emirati-Saudi conflict in the southern areas back to the limelight. Since the four Aden attacks that targeted the Emirati presence and its affiliated parties at the Al-Qasr hotel some weeks ago, the differences had re-emerged. However, the growing complaints made by the Reform Party (the MB branch in Yemen) against the UAE’s position and performance in Yemen intensified the conflict between the two parties and raised questions concerning the operations targeting the UAE’s presence in Aden and other Yemeni regions."
