Yemen's Future Fuels Saudi-UAE Rift as South Eyes Independence
Escalating tensions between Saudi Arabia and the UAE over Yemen's future, particularly the potential secession of the south, threaten to ignite a new civil war and destabilize the region. This dispute reflects a broader power struggle between the Gulf states for influence in the Horn of Africa and control over strategic shipping lanes, with Yemen becoming a key battleground. The UAE's backing of the separatist Southern Transitional Council is a central point of contention, challenging Saudi Arabia's vision for a unified Yemen.
