Saudi Arabia starts transporting Yemeni military factions to its border with Iraq

SANAA, March 31 (YPA) -An official source in the so-called Hadi government said on Wednesday that the Saudi-led coalition has begun moving Yemeni military factions to the Saudi border with Iraq, in conjunction with the start of diplomatic consultations in Riyadh.

Anis Mansour, a consultant at Hadi’s embassy in Riyadh said that coalition forces have already begun moving Yemeni units from camps at the al-Wadea port to the Saudi border with Iraq.

عاجل وخطير
السعودية تحشد الاف المقاتلين اليمنيين بالوديعه لنقلهم الى الحدود العراقية دفاعاً عن المملكة السعودية
الم يتعض اليمنيين سقوط 6الاف شهيد وجريح دفاعاً عن الحد الجنوبي وتمارس ضد كل يمني مقيم حملات ترحيل عنصرية
مافي رجال في السعودية يدافعوا عن وطنهم حتى تستخدم اليمنيين

The objective of this move apparently is to “defend Saudi territory” there.

Mansour warned of the repercussions of this move, which aims to turn Yemeni troops into mercenaries for Saudi Arabia to use however Riyadh sees fit.

It was not known whether the new Saudi move was part of a move to dismantle Hadi’s forces and Islah-affiliated factions, which could theoretically pave the way for the deployment of new forces represented by mercenary leader Tariq Saleh.
