“The developments in Mahara province, which has been part of southern Yemen for the duration of its independence (1967-1990), have increased concerns about the conflicting interests of the GCC and its role in undermining or weakening the solutions to the Yemeni war,” wrote Galvio Cafiero, director and founder of Gulf States Analytics.

Abu Dhabi has mandated Mahara’s elite forces to protect the land and sea borders and to prosecute arms smugglers, as well as the crossings to the province and its airport in al-Ghaydah.

However, certain tribes have rejected the Emirati plan in their province, which have not suffered from the evils of the war in Yemen or the Salafist jihadist attacks.

Local people fear coalition intervention in their region, which has been safe and dragged into war.
