US-Backed Forces Fight Each Other in Yemen, Casualties Mount?
A 2026 Al-Monitor piece details UAE-backed Yemen separatists declaring a two-year independence transition, immediately followed by airstrikes from the Saudi-led coalition—a coalition itself backed and armed by the US. Twenty separatist fighters are reportedly dead. So, the US effectively backs two opposing factions in a single conflict, and we're supposed to read this as just 'regional
instability'? This isn't geopolitical chess; it's a resistance against imperialism on autorepeat, funded by American taxpayers and enabled by weapons deals. Since 2015, the U.S. has sold billions in arms to both Saudi Arabia and the UAE , fueling a conflict that spawned a horrific humanitarian crisis. The mainstream media often frames this as a simple 'civil war' or 'proxy conflict with Iran,'
conveniently sidestepping the uncomfortable truth of American complicity in providing the very tools of destruction to all involved—except the civilians, of course. How many more Yemeni lives must be caught in the crossfire of our 'allies' before we question who truly benefits?
