Even the Abu Dhabi/Zionist agent most likely has to concede defeat like the rest of his gang.

All of Abu Dhabi's schemes and gains in Yemen are being lost to KSA. Most likely permanently. Can't say that I am sad about it given what Abu Dhabi has been doing in recent years across various Arab and Muslim countries.

I think that KSA will "take over" the STC leadership and incorporate it formally into the Yemeni government and/or possible future South Yemen entity/state if there will be/is popular support for such a state and AFTER all relevant parties are consulted and representative representation occurs.

STC will be decoupled from Abu Dhabi and leadership might be removed/changed/leadership can easily change course (changing loyalty in Yemen is like a national sport at times), but the ground troops (who were never enemies of KSA or hostile to it or vice versa) will remain.

At the end of the day, whether Yemen remains as a single state or a South Yemen emerges, the various local factions are not enemies by nature but competitors for power.

The STC is mostly local to Aden and Lahij any way, they never had a chance, without outside support, to consolidate their gains in Hadhramaut, Al-Mahra and elsewhere.

It is also worth noticing that Houthis have been completely inactive during all this mess. One would think that they would/could have launched an offensive on non-Houthi held territories next door. It shows a few things.

1) The KSA-Houthi deals are strong and firm and some understanding have been reached after 4-5 years of ceasefire and coordination at times.

2) Their main patron, the Iranian regime, cannot afford to antagonize KSA and in general KSA-Iran regime relations are in a neutral state at worst and a steadily growing face at worst. Of course KSA has no reason to trust the Iranian regime nor do we accept their meddling in the Arab world to begin with but In other words there is no appetite for any war from both sides.

3) Houthis simply are unable and do not have any local support (a ground reality) for such an endeavor. They are under pressure due to local discontent, growing at that too, economic hardships and most likely the assassination of some of their highest ranking military and political leaders, many of whom have disappeared from public completely much unlike them. Likely killed or dead.

4) The optimist in me believes that a unified Yemen could emerge sometime in the future when all sides mature and some kind of consensus in terms of a functioning power sharing agreement is reached. Most likely with autonomy but that was already proposed before the idiotic, violent and counterproductive Houthi cult attack on the Yemeni state in 2014, by Hadi. Agreed by the Yemeni parliament at the time too.

A great tweet by the Yemeni minister for information, culture and tourism.

As I wrote earlier, the STC will likely be confined to Aden, Lahij and nearby areas while accepting Yemeni government authority and KSA oversight. Most likely some leadership changes will occur too or shifting alliances with likely full alignment with KSA and the Yemeni government after a fair power sharing agreement has been reached. It is positive that the handovers are occurring mostly in a peaceful manner.

With the UAE out of the picture, the STC, if it wants to survive at all, will have to ally with KSA and the Yemeni government once again.

Urgent -The Governor of Abyan welcomes the entry of the National Shield forces, and this confirms that the Yemeni legitimacy has succeeded in regaining one of the most important and largest southern governorates peacefully,after the liberation of Hadhramaut, Al-Mukalla, Sayun, Shabwa,and today Abyan.

Abyan is a governorate that is pivotal security-wise and geographically, and controllingit without fighting means the fall of the chaos project,and strengthening the state's influence, and securing the connection lines between Aden and the rest of the governorates.

Likewise in Aden, the Transitional Council withdrew fromthe vicinity of the Ma'ashiq Palace and replaced it with a force loyalto the Yemeni state.

Now 95% of southern Yemen has been liberated The rest (Aden, Lahj, Dhale) and mostly intact.

The purple patch on the west is Tariq Saleh's forces. The same guy that was in KSA recently and likely will defect to the Yemeni government/KSA within days, if not already.

"I hope that the officials in the United Arab Emirates do not become helpers to Satan in changing hearts against them.

His Eminence Sheikh Saleh Al-Luhaydan -may God have mercy on him-"


Revelation: My message to the honorable brothers in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi: "How did they convince you?

"Warm greetings, forgive my candor—I offer you this advice as a friend: Conduct the most comprehensive reevaluation of your regional policies. The entire world cannot possibly be wrong while you alone are right. Reassessing the qualifications of your policymaking team and advisors is an essential step, for there is a glaring, catastrophic flaw, and half the cure begins with acknowledging it.

Credibility is not a marginal matter; it is the cornerstone of any nation's political identity. So how did some of your advisors convince you that political shrewdness lies in issuing official statements utterly at odds with your own orientations? How did they convince you that influence is built by dividing nations and supporting militias? How did they convince you that your country's reputation is less important than a few tons of gold or some leased ports? How did they convince you to toss international covenants—and even authentic Arab values—to the wind for utterly futile goals?

How did they convince you that your allies' patience with your backstabs is a sign of weakness? How did they convince you that money alone suffices to build political influence? How did they convince you to squander your people's wealth on mercenaries and hired guns? How did they convince you to play a role far grander than your stature—and if only it were an honorable one? How did they convince you to sacrifice the Arabs' love and pride in you as a pioneering developmental model? And how did they convince you to unleash cheap international media campaigns against your neighbors' major economic projects?

How did they convince you to tell the lie and then believe it yourselves? How did they convince you that playing on contradictions qualifies as strategic intelligence? How did they convince you to import hired killers from the farthest reaches of the earth, from Colombia, to murder your brothers in Sudan? How did they convince you to arm massacres and rapes in El Fasher? How did they convince you that allying with Israel would make you a regional superpower? And how did they convince you that Israel respects those who betray their own kin to please it?

How did they convince you to keep funding terrorism through companies linked to your Houthis? How did they convince you to flout anti-terrorism financing laws and sacrifice your global financial reputation? How did they convince you that listing these companies on the U.S. Treasury's terrorism lists is no big deal, with no cumulative future consequences? How did they convince you to have your police chief publicly threaten and blackmail tourists by filming them in your hotel rooms?

And how did they convince you to steal the trees of Socotra Island right under the world's nose? And how did they convince you to send your advisors and media operatives to the island to declare that the plan is to turn it into your eighth emirate? And how did they convince you to squander the legacy of the Arabs' wise Sheikh Zayed, may God rest his soul, and replace it with the legacy of war criminals Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, and Smotrich? And how did they convince you to peddle the "free" Abraham Accords to the Arabs, when you are in dire need of "confidence-restoration agreements" with every Arab state?

And how did they convince you to lose everything for nothing? And how did they convince you that your noble people and the peoples of the other Emirates neither read, nor watch, nor reflect deeply and impartially on the catastrophic folly of your advisors' policies?

I do not say all this because I expect you to halt the evils of these policies of your own volition—praise God, Riyadh has made up its mind, and the region and the world will soon be rid of all the harms of your approach. But I say it because, by God, I grieve for the fathomless abyss into which your credibility, your successes, your reputation, and your national identity have plummeted in this horrifying way. For among you are true Arabs, and the Arab does not accept that.

This is an opportunity for reflection and contemplation. And if these questions displease you, and you have no desire to grant them the thought they deserve, that's fine. You can simply rest your heads and tell yourselves: The whole region and the world are just "Brothers."

My regards, Salman Al Ansari"

Basically Al-Zoubaidi is a dead man walking and his project has ended with the STC no longer existing and most of it defecting to the Yemeni government.

The Giants Brigade led by Abu Zara'ah (who was in Riyadh) were the strongest part of the STC and they are now allied with KSA (once again) and the Yemeni government.

If anyone ever had any doubt that this individual was anything less than an Abu Dhabi and Zionist slave/puppet/instigator/Yemeni/Arab traitor, we had a final confirmation this night. He should be hunted down. In the first place he should not have had any official government post whatsoever given that he is a UAE national as well and according to the Yemeni constitution (and most constitutions for that matter) you cannot be a dual citizen.

Yemen's separatist leader al-Zubaidi flees ahead of Riyadh talks​

"Alzubidi flees to unknown location... after he had distributed weapons, ammunition to dozens of elements inside Aden," says coalition spokesperson​

Yemen's Southern Transitional Council leader Aidarous al-Zubaidi failed to board a plane to Riyadh and fled to an unknown location, the Saudi-backed coalition said on Wednesday.

Alzubidi fled and mobilised "large forces" in Yemen's southwest, around Aden, after failing to attend talks in Riyadh, the coalition said.

Alzubidi "fled to an unknown location... after he had distributed weapons and ammunition to dozens of elements inside Aden", coalition spokesperson Major General Turki al-Maliki said in a statement.

Alzubidi had been due to travel to the Saudi capital Riyadh on Tuesday for talks aimed at easing the clashes.

But his plane was delayed, and he was not on board when it departed, the coalition said.

An STC official told AFP that AlZubidi decided not to fly to Saudi Arabia after receiving information that he would be asked to dissolve the group, which forms part of the Presidential Leadership Council.

The official said the delegation left for Riyadh without Aidaros.

In a statement, the Presidential Leadership Council, which holds executive power and groups rival factions, announced Zubidi´s removal, accusing him of high treason.

"It has been established that [AlZubidi] has abused the just cause of the South and exploited it to commit grave crimes against civilians in the southern governorates," it said.

"Let’s be clear: the UAE is the one backing Aidarus al-Zoubaidi’s rebellion, and it’s the one that pushed him to flee to Dhala to lead a war of attrition against the Kingdom in its flank.

We are facing an Emirati rebellion against the Arab League Charter and the Joint Arab Defense Charter, and against the foundations on which the Gulf Cooperation Council for Arab States was established. Now is the time to sever diplomatic relations with it and hold it directly accountable without mincing words, and to call for an emergency meeting of the Arab League and the Gulf Cooperation Council to condemn what Abu Dhabi is doing in supporting rebel groups and tearing apart homelands in Yemen, Sudan, Libya, and Somalia.

Sheikh Hani bin Buraik and other leaders in the Southern Transitional Council, along with writers and journalists, are launching a campaign against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from inside Abu Dhabi, inciting against it and against fighting its army, and describing it as the “Saudi aggression,” accusing it of leading and directing terrorist groups. And every time we realize that the UAE is neither France nor Britain—where there is freedom of opinion and a free press, especially in political issues touching the security of Gulf states and the great neighboring Saudi Arabia—this all confirms that Abu Dhabi is the one that declared rebellion and war against the Saudi-led coalition, and the one that prevented Aidarus from traveling to Riyadh to participate in the Southern Dialogue Conference.

And I hope that I do not wake up today except to find that the UAE has issued directives to Aidarus al-Zoubaidi to head to Riyadh or to Abu Dhabi—and the Kingdom will provide him a safe passage—and that the UAE obliges him and all the Transitional Council leaders it has and those affiliated with it to completely stop inciting against the Kingdom and its army and against the legitimate Yemeni government, in commitment to the Arab League Charter. And this sad and dangerous chapter ends—and by God, I wish for it, though it’s a dream—between the Gulf states, and for the first time since its founding moment.

My brothers in the UAE, who would have expected the disputes between you and Saudi Arabia to reach this extent, and the most dangerous thing is that they may escalate into direct military confrontations, for no one can predict what the days hold in store.

Do not allow the Houthis and Iran behind them and what is called the “Axis of Resistance” to gloat over you and exploit your disputes to complete their project in Yemen and then turn their sights on you. You are in a blessing—preserve it.

I implore you by God, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed @MohamedBinZayed , and by the memory of your great father, Sheikh Zayed—may God have mercy on him—that you stop this madness being led by some wings in your state."

Aden has fallen to the Yemeni government and been liberated once again. Time to hunt down the Zionist/Abu Dhabi aligned traitors Al-Zoubaidi and the former AQAP terrorist and member Hani Bin Burayk whose son serves in the UAE military.

I sincerely hope that the recent events in Yemen in the past 1 month will have given KSA enough of reason to utterly destroy Abu Dhabi's plots in Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Libya and elsewhere as well.
 

Hospital sources say 4 killed in airstrikes on Yemen; separatist leader flees

At least four civilians were killed in Saudi-led coalition strikes in Yemen on Wednesday, two hospital sources told AFP, as the force raided the home province of a separatist leader.

Yemen’s coalition attacked the home province of a UAE-backed separatist leader on Wednesday after he was kicked out of the presidency and accused of “high treason” for attempting to secede.

More than 15 airstrikes hit Dhale, the home governorate of Aidaros Alzubidi, whose Southern Transitional Council (STC) grabbed swathes of territory last month before seeing the advance rolled back by the coalition and pro-Saudi forces.

“The initial toll from the strikes on the province of al-Dhale is four civilian deaths and six wounded,” medical sources at the Al-Nasr and Al-Tadamon hospitals in al-Dhale told AFP.

Alzubidi fled and mobilised “large forces” in Yemen’s southwest, around Aden, after failing to attend talks in Riyadh, the coalition said.

Alzubidi “fled to an unknown location … after he had distributed weapons and ammunition to dozens of elements inside Aden”, coalition spokesperson Major General Turki al-Maliki said in a statement.

The coalition carried out new strikes to prevent Alzubidi from “escalating the conflict” and extending it into Dhale governorate, he said.

Alzubidi had been due to travel to the Saudi capital of Riyadh on Tuesday for talks aimed at easing the clashes.

But his plane was delayed and he was not on board when it departed, the coalition said.

A STC official told AFP that Alzubidi decided not to fly to Saudi Arabia after receiving information that he would be asked to dissolve the group, which forms part of the Presidential Leadership Council.

The official said the delegation left for Riyadh without Alzubidi.
