Alarmed at the string of success of the Sana’a-based legitimate government of Yemen in liberating the strategic provinces of al-Jowf and Marib as part of efforts towards unification of the country by convincing the southern parts to join the national mainstream instead of supporting the fugitive from justice, Mansour Hadi, certain factions serving the divided aggressors, have decided to renew their deadly duels for control of the port city of Aden and the surrounding areas.
According to reports, the Southern Transitional Council (STC) on Sunday took control of Aden and declared emergency rule in the southern areas by announcing the ouster of the "corrupt and incompetent” Hadi officials, which means the UAE by scrapping the 2019 Riyadh Deal has decided to once again pit its mercenaries against the mercenaries of its ally Saudi Arabia for control of the formerly British protectorate region which existed as the South Yemen Republic from 1967 to 1990.
This is an obvious sign of frustration and failure for the so-called Arab coalition which now desperately seeks to keep the Arab World’s most impoverished country divided by prolonging the multifaceted conflict in a bid to prevent the popular Ansarallah Movement from unifying and ensuring the independence of Yemen.
Although it is not clear whether the rest of southern Yemen will join the STC, the Saudis are not expected to sit idle and allow the UAE to assert its influence. The petrodollars of the two countries have over the past five years destroyed the infrastructure of Yemen and besides killing over 110,000 men, women and children, have displaced at least three million people and plunged the country into famine and epidemics.
Now with the Coronavirus pandemic threatening the poor people of Yemen, the hypocrisy of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi, coupled with their intense rivalry and back-stabbing of each other, is assuming new dimensions, especially since both the aggressors are fearful of the power, precision, and range of the Ansarallah drones and missiles in hitting industrial/military targets deep inside their territories.
At the same time, the al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and the Islah party, which routinely rotate between the UAE and Saudi Arabia, are facing the prospects of defeat at the hands of the national government in Sana’a, which is determined to continue its liberating campaign, irrespective of the aggressors’ attempts to announce a unilateral ceasefire on the pretext of the fasting month of Ramadhan, but actually to buy time and deceive the Yemeni people.
The Yemenis, however, very well know that an imposed peace is worse than an imposed war, unless all aggressor forces leave the whole of Yemen, and allow the Yemeni people to work out peace without the interference of outsiders.

The war in Yemen has thus become a Vietnam for both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, but the two invaders, whose strings are in the hands of the British and the Americans, are unable to exit the quagmire.
It should be recalled that in March 2015, Saudi Arabia on the orders of the US and Britain, had launched the disastrous war on Yemen with the active support of the UAE and a few other reactionary Arab regimes (which have since withdrawn), on the assumption that a few weeks of intense bombing will make the Ansarallah yield to the aggressors.
The legitimate government of Yemen through resolute defence of its homeland, coupled with decisive retaliatory attacks on the aggressors, especially on Saudi Arabia, has proved its mettle in safeguarding the independence of Yemen at any cost.
In view of these undeniable facts, the development in Aden is merely yet another futile bid by the deeply divided Arab coalition for secession and control of the south, since both Saudi Arabia and the UAE have been defeated in the war to dominate the whole of Yemen.
