The Saudi-backed mercenaries have been driven out western Yemen along the Red Sea coast. The Ansar-Allah now control the Bab al-Mandab Strait as well as all shipping traffic in the Red Sea. They have vowed to block Saudi tankers until the siege of Yemen is lifted.
The UAE president Muhammad bin Zayed (MbZ) has taking on too many adversaries and getting involved in conflicts that he cannot manage. His proxy’s latest attack in Yemen aroused the Saudis’ wrath and MbZ was slapped back into line.
The UAE has a population of 10 million but only one million are locals. Despite its tiny size, it is acting as imperialist lite supporting militias in Sudan, Libya, Yemen and even established military bases on lands it does not own. Its tight embrace of zionist Israel is scandalous.
Yemen’s Ansrallah have knocked America’s front teeth and driven its much-touted aircraft carriers from the Red Sea. Meanwhile Yemeni missile strikes on the zionist colonial entity continue disrupting air traffic at Ben Gurion airport as well as blocking several of its ports.
The Ansarallah in Yemen have shown true grit and determination in supporting the Palestinian resistance in Gaza. They have targeted Israeli-bound ships and have increased the cost of shipping to the zionist entity.
For eight years, the Saudis continued with a vicious war against the Yemeni people but made little headway. Recent developments show the Saudis have had a change of mind. What has forced them to change course and sue for peace?
