Head of Islamic Reforms Movement in Saudi Arabia Sa'ad al-Faqih revealed that Riyadh and Abu Dhabi are collaborating to disintegrate Yemen into the Northern and Southern parts.
"Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman supports the coup launched by the UAE-backed militants against the government of fugitive president Mansour Hadi and disintegration of Yemen into Northern and Southern parts," al-Faqih, a prominent Saudi dissident, said on Tuesday.
Elsewhere, he said that despite collusion between Saudi Arabia and the UAE against the government of Masour Hadi, differences exist between them on the method to display an image of coup to the world.
Al-Faqih noted that the Saudis want to wait on declaration of formation of a government in Southern Yemen while the UAE wants to display a new image to the world to induce that what has happened in Aden was the start of a new government in Yemen and separation of the South.
Amid a widening rift in the Riyadh-led military coalition waging war on Yemen, the port city of Aden — which bases the ex-government of the war ravaged country — was rocked by deadly clashes between the UAE-backed separatists and Saudi-backed militants.
Both the UAE-backed separatists and the militants loyal to the former Saudi-allied Yemeni government serve the Riyadh-led coalition, which has been engaged, since 2015, in a bloody military campaign against Yemen aimed at reinstating ex-president Mansour Hadi, who resigned in 2014 and later fled to the Saudi capital.
The two sides pursue different agendas for Yemen’s future; the separatists want independence from Yemen, while the other militants seek to bring Hadi back to power, but the two camps have joined forces in the Saudi-led battle against Yemen’s Houthi movement, which has been both running state affairs and defending the country against the aggression.
