Moroccan army has decided to withdraw its joint aircraft squadron with the Saudi-led coalition, which has launched a war against Yemen since March 2015, according to Moroccan media sources.

 Under the direction of Inspector-General of the Royal Armed Forces, Abdul Fattah al-Warraq, , they called the squadron which consist of six aircrafts, which had been sent to the United States of America in order to raise its standard.

The source added that Moroccan people are between supporters and opponents of the war, in which Morocco participates by air forces in military operation, led by Saudi Arabia in Yemen, claiming the success of anti-Ansar Allah in shooting down the Moroccan fighter F-16 American.

In March 2015, Saudi Arabia and a coalition of its regional allies — mainly the united Arab Emirates and Jordan — started  a war against Yemen with the declared aim of crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement, who had taken over from the staunch Riyadh ally and fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, while also seeking to secure the Saudi border with its southern neighbor. Three years and over 600,000 dead and injured Yemeni people later, the war has yielded little to that effect.
