Saudi Arabia issues stern warning to UAE-backed separatists in Yemen, demanding they withdraw from Hadramout and Mahra governorates. This move risks fracturing the coalition fighting Houthi rebels, with Saudi Arabia backing rival groups. Negotiations are ongoing to return Southern Transitional Councils troops to their old positions and hand over camps to Saudi-supported fighters. The councils actions have strained ties between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, who compete for influence despite shared OPEC membership. Yemens war-torn landscape adds to the stakes, with Houthis seizing the capital Sanaa in 2014 and the conflict killing over 150,000 people, pushing the nation toward famine and creating a massive humanitarian crisis. Recent Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping and US strikes have further escalated the situation, with Houthis now detaining aid workers and threatening Saudi Arabia.
