ADEN, Yemen - Tens of thousands of Yemenis rallied in Aden on Thursday in support of separatist forces who took over the southern port, the temporary seat of Yemen’s Saudi-backed government, in a move that exposed rifts in a Sunni Muslim military coalition.
“There is no daylight between the UAE and Saudi Arabia when it comes to Yemen. We are completely aligned,” a UAE official said in a statement. Many traveled into Aden from other southern provinces on Wednesday, sleeping overnight in the central parade square. One man held up a battered old identity document from former South Yemen and many waved the South Yemen flag.
The rally statement, issued by civil society groups and unions, accused Hadi’s government of mismanagement, saying it had become “a guillotine at Yemenis’ necks”. The UAE official said Abu Dhabi and Riyadh continue to call on all parties to meet to discuss a political settlement. It said it will continue to back some 90,000 Yemeni forces made up of southern separatists and coastal plain fighters.The war is largely seen in the region as a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Tehran. The Houthis say their revolution is against a corrupt system.
