M.A.

A leaked document from the so-called Panel of Experts of the International Sanctions Committee on Yemen revealed the spread of many armed militias receiving direct funding from Abu Dhabi.

The document, which was leaked by Al-Jazeera read the following: The UAE continues to practice illegal detention, and the conflict in Aden strengthened the role of a person named Abu Abbas, whom is directly supported from the UAE.

Abbas allowed the prevalence of elements affiliated with al-Qaeda in Aden to strengthen his forces.

Moreover, the document pointed out that the air campaign led by Saudi Arabia has little impact on ground.
