The Saudi-led Arab Coalition has released a statement providing more details about its airstrikes on an arms shipment sent by the United Arab Emirates to its allies in Yemen.
The statement, issued late on December 30 by coalition spokesman Col. Turki al-Maliki, came in response to a statement by the the United Arab Emirate saying that the shipment in question did not contain weapons and were destined for the Emirati forces.
The spokesman said that upon entering the port of Mukalla in southern Yemen, it became clear that the two ships from the UAE were carrying more than 80 vehicles and containers of weapons and ammunition.
He claimed that the Emirate side transferred vehicles, containers, and Emirati personnel to the al-Rayyan base without informing Saudi Arabia.
“Out of concern for the safety of lives and public property, the coalition leadership carried out a limited military operation in a manner that ensured the safety of lives and facilities in the port, after applying the rules of engagement,” Col al-Maliki said.
“The Coalition leadership confirms that the remaining containers are still at the (Al-Rayyan) base as of this time,” he added.
The unprecedented Saudi airstrikes on the Emirate arms shipment came following weeks of tensions with the UAE over the situation in Yemen.
The escalation on December 2 when the Southern Transitional Council (STC), backed by Abu Dhabi, launched a military operation across the south of the country, beginning in the Hadhramaut province, which was then under the control of the internationally-recognized government of Yemen allied to Saudi Arabia.
By December 9, the council forces had captured most of the regions comprising the six governorates of the former South Yemen, expanding control along the border with Saudi Arabia.
Following the airstrikes, which took place early on December 30, the UAE announced the withdrawal of its forces from Yemen, declaring an end to what it called “counterterrorism” operations there.
Yemen’s internationally recognised government earlier demanded the UAE pull its forces from the country within 24 hours, a call that was backed by Saudi Arabia.
The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the statements of Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which it said reflected a “commitment to prioritising the interests of the region, strengthening the principles of good neighbourliness, and adhering to the foundations and principles upon which the GCC Charter is based”. Doha has been a long time rival of Abu Dhabi, and also had its differences with Riyadh.
Meanwhile, United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio held phone calls with both Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud and UAE Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan. This was likely an attempt to mediate between the two.
The situation cooled down by December 31, which indicate that Saudi Arabia and the UAE may be on the way to reach an understanding.
That’s being said, it is clear that the tight alliance between Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which was forged by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud when he first rose to power in 2015, has reached its end. Yemen was just one of several issues the two countries have grown apart as a result of. Another issue is the civil war in Sudan.

what a tangled web we weave when we need to deceive .
they’re all in it together .globally imo .
china’s the future but ,the wealthy there will be reduced dramatically and their wealth incoprated up to the top back to egypt and pharoah basically total.feudalism globally .no freedom except to do as you’re told ,like they say here now …”we all have to do as we’re told here ” baaa baaa baaa.
there are over 160 offshoot banks from the bank of englands east india trading company that ruled the seas and global commerce for a time. with partner nations like france creating divisions for mass consumption. the vatican is just one member bank that offers control by indoctrination of masses. corrupting any religion is a first move ?
the dutch east india was bigger , england was also the virginia trading company, ie the usa corporation now registered in delaware and puerto rico. but of course it was the bank. and it’s not offshoots its the fact that it legally owns controlling share in most banks, and the others it runs anyway through controlling hitlers old bank, now called the bank of international settlements in basel, switzerland.
the ministry also said that russian air defenses shot down during the same period three himars artillery rockets and 18 fixed-wing drones……………… https://psee.io/8ela5d
se matem árabes porcos malditos, traidores da causa palestina e amantes de israel e netanyahu. morram malditos, morram!
this only means one thing:
— saudis don’t want emirati arms
no it means the kingdoms are united against the republics but they play the game so that the winners and losers aren’t what they appear to be. in a way. its layered heavily in disingenuities. you know never judge a book by its cover. it’s the reset back or what they would call in the past the restoration.
the colonialist greater israel project is always on the hunt to destroy any threat to domination of the regions hydrocarbon resources. so the us / israel is expanding its air base in somalia. is yemen the only target of this base ?
the somalian base will also work to control regional shipping. a direct threat to brics member nations energy needs.

brazil is catholic. india is english, and i don’t care what they say about their alleged independence, its english legally bureaeucratically. china is the jesuits they made it communist imo, it took them 350 years the jesuit general in paris pre the revolution said “so you see from here we rule not only china but the whole world, and no one knows how we do it”.
south africa’s england’s owned by king charles along with england australia canada and new zealand.
in other words brics isn’t what you think its just the west anyway.
meanwhile the important move fir the new year’s shay’s happy reset is here
“iran in chaos protests sweep the nation. first post report you tube.
signs i woke up back in the 1980s when i saw them taking over all the piles in england by the national trust and selling tickets to the public to fund restoring them from the wastrel families who couldn’t keep up their incomes. entrapped by the banks obvious imo to maintain an exclusivity of the circle.
anyway it’s obvious they will be privatised again under the new feudalism when once again the wealthy can afford wages for dozens of staff each day.
this explains the mechanism, but it’s not america, its global. russians owned their houses before the revolution now they rent chinese same, and now big companies are just buying up whole suburbs globally.
“the greatest wealth transfer in american history has just started” you tube. it’s everywhere.
i terestingly the judges in the somali land frauds of billions, have overturned the juries unanimous guilty findings and said the cases are acquitted because the prosecution failed to establish their case properly.. by moral authority for rule of law. so everything can be traced to its source.
even my goats ahrzchoels
i said before, uae is a nest of pro-zionist arabs and not a friend of saudi. uae wants to secretly partition saudi. saudi arabia is waking up which is good. uae is complicit in genocide in sudan and pimps for israel in socotra yemen
your mother is a goat too ?
zionists are much worse than animals, case in point, jews expose their subhuman behavior very openly for everybody to see
bestiality fixation for an inbred as young as you ? – yep, nothing surprising.
p*ss off freddy foreskin.
saudi, uae and qatar… hard to figure out which of these bastard british-created mafia entities is worse.
