Informed sources disclosed that Qatari military equipment and Jordanian military servicemen are to replace the UAE hardware and soldiers in Yemen, respectively.
“It has been planned that the Qatari military equipment and weaponry as well as Jordanian soldiers replace the UAE army and military hardware,” Arab media outlets quoted unnamed informed military sources as saying.
They said the recent visit of Saudi Defense Minister Mohammad bin Salman to Jordan just few days after the UAE pulled out 80 percent of its troops from Yemen shows that Saudi Arabia is going to replace the UAE forces with Jordanians.
In a relevant development on Monday, media reports said that the UAE had pulled out most of its forces out of a strategic military base located between Ma’rib and al-Jawf provinces.
The UAE has withdrawn 80 percent of its troops from al-Tadavin military base located between Ma’rib and al-Jawf provinces in the Northern parts of Yemen, the Arabic service of the Russian Sputnik news agency quoted an unnamed informed source as saying.
The source also said that the UAE has also dismantled three patriot missiles launch platforms, adding that only one more missile launchpad is left there.
The UAE military servicemen have been relocated to Saudi Arabia’s al-Wadi’a border region.
The UAE army has also pulled out its military hardware from al-Tadavin military base.
U.S. support for Saudi intervention in Yemen makes us all less secure
Bonnie Kristian | Rare –
Of all the wars in which the United States currently has a hand, the conflict in Yemen is perhaps the most anonymous. Iraq and Afghanistan we know, but “Yemen” is a word many of us haven’t heard since high school geography class.
But there is a war there, and America is definitely involved.
Just last week, a human rights watchdog reported that a single airstrike in Yemen in March killed nearly 100 innocent civilians, some 25 of them children. The strike was conducted by Saudi Arabia, but it was done with American-supplied weapons and positioning technology.Shortly before that, we learned of a murderous raid on a hospice for the elderly founded by Mother Teresa herself, an attack which left 16 people dead, including four nuns who managed the facility. The incident was an “act of senseless and diabolical violence,” said Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin, and Pope Francis “prays that this pointless slaughter will awaken consciences, lead to a change of heart and inspire all parties to lay down their arms and take up the path of dialogue.”
One way to further that goal—while strengthening American security—is stop the flow of U.S. support to the Saudi Arabian side of Yemen’s conflict.
What many Americans don’t realize is that our government has been quietly funneling guidance, intelligence, and weaponry to the Saudi intervention. Our navy is patrolling the coast, searching for potential Iranian arms shipments to the Houthi rebels Saudi forces oppose, and our tanker planes are refuelingSaudi jets.
In short, though few in the U.S. realize it, we are subsidizing Saudi Arabia’s war—a commitment which neither makes America safer nor brings Yemen closer to stability.
