Following a proposal for potential political cooperation between Saudi-backed forces and Yemen’s Ansarullah movement, divisions among Riyadh and Abu Dhabi\u2019s allied actors have entered a new phase. These developments come amid escalating clashes on the ground between the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council and the Saudi-aligned self-declared Yemeni government.<\/p>\n
According to media reports, Mustafa Al-Numan, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Saudi-backed Yemeni government, recently stated that in order to preserve the country\u2019s territorial integrity, there is a willingness to consider forming an alliance with Ansarullah forces. This statement was largely aimed at countering separatist movements in southern Yemen.<\/p>\n
These remarks were met with criticism from Anwar Al-Tamimi, the official spokesperson for the Southern Transitional Council. He argued that proposing such a stance represents a fundamental shift in the ongoing conflict\u2019s principles and considered it a threat to the existing alliances within Yemen.<\/p>\n
In recent weeks, the Southern Transitional Council has expanded its military control over parts of eastern and southern Yemen. This move has been strongly opposed by the Saudi-backed self-declared government and its allied forces, further deepening the rift among former allies. These developments once again highlight how intra-coalition rivalries have complicated Yemen\u2019s political and security landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
