Saudi Arabia Accuses UAE of Yemen Separatist Escapade, Forgets Its Own Bombing Campaign
The irony is thick enough to cut with a drone blade: Saudi Arabia, leading an eight-year-long, devastating coalition war in Yemen, is now upset its supposed partner, the UAE, might be playing both sides of the separatist fence. While Riyadh condemns the UAE's alleged covert operations, one might note that both nations have been complicit in a conflict that has caused one of the world's worst
humanitarian disasters, according to the UN. The US, a steadfast ally to both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, continues to approve arms sales, effectively fueling—and profiting from—this very proxy war. This squabble isn't about Yemeni sovereignty; it’s about control in a fractured nation, where foreign powers carve out influence and resources while its people starve. The media frames it as a
geopolitical spat, conveniently side-stepping the fact that both actors are part of the 'Saudi-led coalition' that has systematically bombed civilian infrastructure and imposed blockades. (Remember when they called it a 'legitimate defense'?) How many 'ally' disagreements does it take before we question the entire, catastrophic intervention?
