Southern Yemen:

Violence in Aden, southern Yemen, under the control of UAE

Assassinations, security disorder and torture operation have been ramping in Aden since United Arab Emirates forces took over the city.

Fierce clashes broke out on Friday between the coalition rival paid fighters in Aden province, southern Yemen,under the control of UAE, whereas the clashes broke out the central city of al-Mansoura.

The confrontations are believed to be between armed elements loyal to Alalmihdar backed by the exiled Hadi and the gunmen of Abdul Ghani Alsubahi, backed by the UAE forces. The clashes came a few days after clashes erupted between the so-called “Alalmihdar brigade’s troops” and gunmen loyal to Alsubahi which caused injuries of both sides.

Dozens of Yemeni detainees families on Thursday rallied to protest against interior minister of Saudi-backed exiled Hadi’s government Nasser al-Akhsha Lakhma, in the same city, demanding to release their sons in the secret prisons run by UAE occupation forces in Aden.During the rally,theycondemned the war crimes and violations against the detainees in the jails run by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and raised the banners and slogans and pictures showing torture again the detainees by UAE-backed paid fighters.

In March 2015, the US -backed –Saudi-led coalition started  a war against Yemen with the declared aim of crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement, who had taken over from the staunch Riyadh ally and fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, while also seeking to secure the Saudi border with its southern neighbor. Three years and over 600,000 dead and injured Yemeni people and  prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country, the war has yielded little to that effect.

Despite the coalition claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

However, Saudi Arabia relies heavily on the US in its brutal war on Yemen. Washington has deployed a commando force on the Arab kingdom’s border with Yemen to help destroy arms belonging to Yemen’s popular Houthi Ansarullah movement. Washington has also provided logistical support and aerial refueling.
