UAE forms 90,000-strong militia force in southern Yemen: Official

Meanwhile, an official from the administration of Yemen’s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, says the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has assembled a 90,000-strong militia force across Yemen, whose members receive monthly salaries.

The governor of Yemeni Shabwah province, Mohammed Saleh bin Adeow, said the UAE-backed militants do not operate under the command of pro-Hadi troops.

They have frequently engaged in bitter clashes with Hadi loyalists, and carried out attacks and assassinations, Arabic-language al-Khaleej Online news website quoted Adeow as saying.

He further noted that UAE mercenaries are present throughout Yemen and are wrecking havoc in the provinces of al-Mahrah, Hadhramaut, Shabwah, Abyan, Aden, Ta’izz and Hudaydah among many areas.

Saudi Arabia, backed by the US and regional allies, launched the war on Yemen in March 2015, with the goal of bringing the Hadi government back to power and crushing popular Ansarullah. The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead, and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases.

Yemeni armed forces and the Popular Committees have grown steadily in strength against the Saudi-led invaders and left Riyadh and its allies bogged down in the country.
