Al-Houthi predicts massive changes as Abu Dhabi pulls out

SANAA, Oct. 28 (YPA) – Member of the Supreme Political Council Mohammed Ali al-Houthi said that the coalition’s statement on Saudi Arabia’s takeover of the forces in Aden marks of the end of UAE participation in the coalition’s alliance of invaders.

He stressed that “the dispute is most intense between the allies” and not between their local factions.

“The arrival of Saudi forces proves that the battle was between the allies, not the mercenaries, and that the mercenary militias’ rush to fight and shell each other came as a result of the dispute of the funders ,” Mohammed Ali al-Houthi said in thread of tweets after midnight on Sunday.

“The establishment of the so-called Saudi-UAE Coordination Council shows an attempt to end the dispute over leadership by Saudi Arabia instead of the UAE. It shows that the talk of Saudi Arabia leading the aggression was [mostly] in media field, not on the ground,” he added

He stressed that the political and military events in Aden were already known, and said: “The failure of the Coordination Council was inevitable, since it did not take place in regular meetings, considering the necessity of the battle, and the need for continuous coordination.”

“The statement of the Coalition of US-Saudi-UAE aggression, that Saudi Arabia is taking command of the forces loyal to the coalition in Aden instead of the UAE, confirms that the dispute between them remains stronger,” he said.

Al-Houthi added that if Abu Dhabi had not been the strongest of the invaders, “the UAE forces would also be under Saudi command”.

Al-Houthi believed that the battle for influence had been resolved. He said:

“This battle was successfully won by MBS against MBZ. Also, each of the mercenaries has achieved the victory or defeat of its ally.”

“The UAE should only take the lesson for the future,” he said.

He also anticipated the repercussions of resolving the power struggle between the coalition’s poles and their respective factions in Aden and southern Yemen.

“We may see changes between mercenaries, and some may be ahead of them by taking positions and empty statements about his national concern, which they previously sold to the hotel’s ministerial room,” Mohammed al-Houthi said, referring to the fact that most of the Hadi government operates from luxury hotels in Saudi Arabia.

He continued: “Some will argue that the reason for dispensing with his services is his rejection of orders affecting the homeland, in order to deceive the people who know that aggression and siege is a crime, and that mercenaries are one tool that implemented those crimes.”
