UAE proxies turning screw on KSA in Yemen:
The UAE-based STC leader made his first public appearance since the Saudi-UAE crisis in Yemen in a televised address last night. He called for general mobilization against the Houthis to defend the south and expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia following the Houthi attacks on the kingdom. But he also urged the Saudi leadership to recognize the STC’s constitutional declaration establishing an independent South Yemen within its pre-1990 borders, implicitly making STC forces’ participation in the fight against the Houthis conditional on that recognition.
