The Yemeni crisis has become a great mystery for those who run the war, as well as those who follow it. The Saudi-UAE dispute on the one hand, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are united with Al-Qaeda and Daesh, on the other hand.

The war on Yemen by the Riyadh-led coalition and the US-British green signal have enabled al-Qaeda and Daesh to flourish in the Arabian Peninsula and to expand, and US military campaigns against al-Qaeda will not defeat it, because these operations are part of the liquidation of some of the organization’s leaders, and that the logistical and strategic support for this organization is still present and ongoing.

The issue of uncovering secret prisons in Yemen came against the background of the Gulf crisis and the division of the ranks of aggression. The UAE has arrested a number of southern leaders in southern Yemen and transferred them to these secret prisons.

An investigation by the Associated Press revealed the existence of a network of secret prisons in Yemen run by the United Arab Emirates, where detainees are subjected to various types of torture.

The agency said it had documented and verified incidents of disappearance of hundreds of people in these secret prisons after being arbitrarily detained as part of the pursuit of al-Qaeda members. These prisons are located inside military bases, airports, Yemeni ports and even in residential buildings.

As this agency points out, Washington has been involved in interrogating detainees in these secret prisons under the supervision of Yemeni and Emirati forces and that they have permanent access to them, which may be in violation of international law.

The newspaper Le Monde said in a five-part report on the Yemen crisis that the UAE had a declared goal in Yemen: fighting the Huthis and Hossa Khafia, a fight against the Islah Party and the Muslim Brotherhood, despite their Houthi fighting.

The newspaper added that the United Arab Emirates supports the militias of Abu Abbas, which is fighting the Saudi-backed Islah Party, which Riyadh has already supplied with weapons.

The report of the German secret prison channel, the Emirates, also referred to an impending end to the crisis and suffering in Yemen, pointing to Human Rights Watch’s accusation of the UAE allied with Saudi Arabia to support Yemeni fighters involved in torture against alleged al-Qa’ida-linked and Daesh linked prisoners, the UAE supervises at least two prisons where people are also alleged to be tortured.

“We do not effectively fighting extremist groups like al Qaeda or the Islamic state by hiding dozens of young people and increasing the number of” missing “loved ones of families in Yemen,” said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch.

UAE goals in Yemen …

The United Arab Emirates has assumed the task of fighting the western coasts of the country because the United Arab Emirates considers Bab al-Mandab a natural extension of its national security, which it has developed at the expense of weakening this corridor and other corridors in the region. But did not succeed in several rounds in November 2008 when the former Yemeni President “Ali Abdullah Saleh” to conclude an agreement for what they called the “development of the port.”

With the announcement of the formation of a military alliance “Storm Hazm” with the participation of the UAE and other Gulf countries, the eyes of the UAE were heading towards Aden and ports in particular to control it, and spread its influence to ensure control and restore the glory of the British occupation, and therefore was the first to send military forces and led the attack In the summer of 2015, even after the Americans refused their request to help US Special Forces.

US-UAE plan in South …

The conflict raging in Aden between the various forces is also part of an American scheme aimed at giving the Salafist jihadist role and presence and control to present to the world public opinion that al-Qaeda and the Daesh became the dominant force on the south, as this suggests at the moment that the conflicting forces using the masses and leaders Salafi Jihadism.

In the near term, the conflict is likely to intensify and its circles expand, pushing the general situation in the south into anarchy that will prepare the ground for a growing Daesh and al Qaeda that will eventually fight for influence.

When America sees that the south of Yemen is under the control of the various jihadist groups, it will call for direct military action against Yemen under the pretext of fighting terrorism.

In any case, it seems that there are indications through periodic meetings sponsored by the United Arab Emirates to declare imminent secession in Yemen, only serves its interests.
