Arab coalition succeeds with achieving its own agenda in Yemen

Back in history, Saudi-Yemeni relations have never been OK. Saudi Arabia has never been an ally of Yemen. Punches are directed at Yemen one after another since 1932, when it took control of three Yemeni cities,” Asir, Najran and Jizan” until the leaders of the Arab coalition waged an absurd war on Yemen and dealt a deadly blow to Yemen in 2015. Saudi Arabia's fear of the success of the republican regime in Yemen prompted it to buy loyalties and support power centers by paying money to help tribes maintain as much independence as possible, so that Saudi Arabia can secure the interests that it wants in Yemen, intervene in the political decision, and prevent Yemeni unity. Saudi Arabia has always tried to keep Yemen weak and divided. The Saudi regime supported the monarchy in Yemen in 1962 in a miserable attempt to abort the Yemeni revolution, but it did not succeed. The Saudi regime also played a key role in the assassination of President Hamdi, who tried to build an independent civil state and remove the new republic from the Saudi control, determined to rapprochement with southern Yemen and discuss Yemeni unity. He was assassinated in 1977 the day before his upcoming visit to Aden.

Yemeni-Saudi relations were strained after Yemeni unity in 1990 over the border demarcation, and Saudi Arabia expelled nearly a million Yemeni workers from its territory. Later, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates jointly provided military and political support to the separatists during the summer war of 1994 with the aim of dividing and splitting Yemen. Saudi Arabia returned to intervene in Yemen in 2011 to thwart the youth revolution and obstructed the Yemeni people's dream of establishing a civil state through the Gulf initiative. Which granted immunity from prosecution to the President and those who worked with him during his tenure. After that, They began to support the Houthi militias and enabled them to take control of the northern cities.

Saudi Arabia leads Arab alliance with its ally the UAE to wage war on Yemen under the guise of restoring legitimacy and fighting the Iranian expansion. Then, they deviated from the stated objectives of their military intervention in Yemen. This was announced by the military spokesman for the coalition. Where he mentioned the 3 targets and justifications, which was the restoration of areas controlled by militia Houthi, restoring the legitimacy of President Abdu Rabbo Mansour Hadi, and protection of civilians. Unfortunately, the coalition was not sincere and serious to achieve these goals. But they had a special agenda and interest in the strategic and politician's logic, which meets their interests and agenda. They have already brought out the Houthis from the south of Yemen, in two months. There was no real war between the Houthis and the Arab coalition. It was an agreement to withdraw and handed over. These areas are what they really care about strategically. As for the protection of civilian, civilians today are living the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. This crisis is not a symptom of war, but an aggression used by the coalition as a means of war. Regarding protection of Yemen unity. The UAE forces supported the separatists and worked on Separation and occupation of southern Yemen.

Today, an unequal battle is taking place in southern Yemen between the power of limited legitimacy and the forces of secession backed by UAE. The second succeeded in taking control of Aden, the provisional capital of legitimacy. Today, their ambitions and their agendas are clearly visible in the destruction, division and occupation of Yemen. And to take advantage of its strategic position. With international blessing, international support and media blackout. One of the misfortunes of Yemenis, is that, they have a bad neighbor who is always trying to divide Yemen, intervene in the Yemeni affairs, and sow division between Yemenis.
