The conflict is raging between the paid fighters of the Saudi-led coalition, backed by the US, paid fighters in Taiz and the occupied southern provinces. Saudi Arabia and the UAE objectives in the occupied provinces are to spread chaos and the growing influence of armed organizations, including Daesh and Al Qaeda.

Violent clashes continue between paid fighters of the coalition in the city of Taiz with various weapons, leaving civilian casualties, local sources reported.

The sources said that an armed faction affiliated to the Islah Party has been clashing with the other faction supported by the UAE under the command of Daesh terrorist, who is nicknamed Abu Abbas.

It pointed out that the clashes used medium and heavy weapons, resulting in loss from both sides along with civilians.

“Since Friday, violent clashes broke out in the city of Taiz, where medical facilities supported by the organizations received 91 wounded and 5 killed,” MSF said on its Twitter account on Tuesday.

The clashes “hinder the access of patients and pregnant women to medical care.”

The occupied United Arab Emirates turned Yemen’s southern provinces into a big arena to attract and train paid fighters, who provide their services in fighting with Abu Dhabi for only $ 7 a day, describing southern fighters as the cheapest, according to Time magazine.

“The war has turned thousands of aspiring young Yemenis in southern Yemen into a combat machine to be moved from one place to another,” said Richard Peter, a journalist specializing in international conflicts. The report pointed out that the southern leaders belonging to them, including Idaruss Zubaidi and Hani Ben Brik are pushing thousands of young people in the south to the death camps in the north. It explained that the youth of the south are used by the UAE as the cheapest mercenaries in the world.

The Washington Post highlighted that with the ISIS caliphate defeated in Syria, ISIS and Al-Qaeda militant rivalry take root in Yemen. “Both AQAP and ISIS have taken advantage of ungoverned spaces in Yemen to plot, direct and inspire terror attacks against the United States, its citizens and its allies around the world,” said Lt. Earl Brown, a spokesman for the Pentagon’s Central Command.

Clashes are occurring regularly in central Al-Baidha’a province between Yemeni tribal forces aligned with the two extremist groups. In recent weeks, the fighting has escalated. The Islamic State deployed suicide bombers, including a Somali national, against Al-Qaeda positions, killing and injuring more than 10 fighters, including commanders. Al-Qaeda, in retaliation, attacked Islamic State bases, claiming to wrest six of them away.

The US daily Wall Street Journal reported that Saudi Arabia is facing mounting opposition in the southern areas it occupies in Yemen.

“We are under Saudi occupation. We don’t need the Saudis,” it quoted former deputy governor of al-Mahra Ali bin Salem al-Huraizy, who has helped organize protests against the Saudi presence in the past.

Many demonstrations have been organized against the Saudi “the coalition.

In March 2015, the US -backed –Saudi-led coalition 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 and  prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country, the war has yielded little to that effect.

Despite the coalition claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

However, Saudi Arabia relies heavily on the US in its brutal war on Yemen. Washington has deployed a commando force on the Arab kingdom’s border with Yemen to help destroy arms belonging to Yemen’s popular Houthi Ansarullah movement. Washington has also provided logistical support and aerial refueling.
