Emirates’ strategy in Yemen showed and confirmed how a small and very ambitious nation is projecting its power beyond its borders and implementing its special agendas.

A report published by” The Guardian” newspaper on Friday confirming that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is responsible for security chaos and civil disorder in the occupied areas by its hired troops in southern Yemen.

Abu Dhabi is implementing its special agendas, and the war in Yemen has been transformed into wars and internal civil war due to the UAE’s intervention, the report said.

According to the Guardian, the UAE has helped to fragment the war into multiple conflicts and local skirmishes, Yemen is now a patchwork of heavily armed fiefdoms and chaotic areas, where commanders, war profiteers and a thousand bandit kings.

The report added that the Saudi-led coalition is witnessing competition among its members, with each party trying to achieve its different agenda.

It stressed that Emiratis are the only party with a clear strategy, and they are using private armies to achieve those strategies.

Some prisoners don’t know why they were detained. As what happened with a young bespectacled university student, who loved reading history books and discussing them with his friends in a shisha bar, was seized last year by masked men, put in the back of a pickup truck, his head pushed to the floor, and taken into a windowless room where he was held for three weeks.

He was interrogated a few times, but mostly he was left alone. Sometimes he thought his jailers had forgotten about him. Just before his release, an interrogator told him that it’s better not talk about “these books you read” in public, and he was sent home, added the report.
