Yemen has been at war since Iran-backed Houthi rebels ousted the government in 2014,
00:08
triggering a Saudi-led military intervention, but a new internal conflict has been brewing
00:14
in recent weeks. The face-off involves rival armed factions loosely grouped under the government,
00:20
but separately backed by the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. The UAE on Tuesday 30th
00:27
said it was pulling its remaining forces out of Yemen, following a Saudi demand to withdraw
00:33
within 24 hours, as tensions escalate over a sweeping offensive by Abu Dhabi-backed separatists
00:40
who have refused to pull back. Here is what we know about the latest events threatening
00:45
the already fractured government and what could happen next.
00:49
This month, the Southern Transitional Council, or STC, a UAE-backed secessionist group and
01:02
key government partner, seized most of resource-rich Hadramat province and swaths of neighboring
01:09
Mara. Saudi Arabia, chief supporter of Yemen's government, has hit back, and tensions escalated
01:15
Tuesday when a Saudi-led military coalition attacked an alleged shipment of weapons and
01:21
combat vehicles it said was sent from the UAE to the separatists. The UAE denied sending
01:27
weapons to the STC. After the strikes, Yemen's Presidential Council dissolved a defense pact
01:33
with the UAE and declared a 90-day state of emergency. The strikes came after raids hit STC
01:40
positions on Friday, following calls from Riyadh for a separatist withdrawal.
01:45
Later Tuesday, the UAE announced its remaining forces would leave Yemen, before an STC spokesman
01:52
vowed the separatists would hold their positions. A Yemeni military official said around 15,000
01:58
Saudi-backed fighters were massed near the Saudi border, with no orders to advance.
02:03
The standoff risks upending Yemen's fragile three-and-a-half-year truce, wrote April Longley
02:09
Ali, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute, in an analysis. He added that it could also
02:16
further strain relations between key U.S. allies Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
02:27
Observers said that the STC appears to be launching a bid for greater self-determination
02:32
over territories it controls, or even outright independence. Headed by Eideros al-Zubidi,
02:39
the STC is a coalition of groups that want to bring back South Yemen, which existed from
02:45
1967 to 1990, when it reunified with North Yemen. They now control almost all of South
02:52
Yemen's former territory. Gregory D. Johnson, a non-resident fellow at the Arab Gulf States
02:58
Institute, in a recent analysis wrote that the STC is betting that if the South can be united
03:04
under a single leadership, its own, of course, it can cordon the South off from the Houthis in the
03:10
North, utilize oil and gas revenue, and create a stable and functioning state. Johnson added that such
03:17
a move is a tall order, and it will likely be contested both internally and externally.
03:30
Hadramaut is Yemen's largest province, comprising roughly a third of the country's territory and its wealthiest.
03:36
It is home to most of Yemen's vital petroleum deposits, and its ports are away from the Red Sea
03:43
hotspot that regularly comes under Houthi fire. But for the Saudis, the province abutting their
03:49
southern border is about more than just land and wealth. For generations, Hadramaut families have been
03:55
a force in the Saudi economy and make up a sizable portion of the business community. Seen as having
04:01
entrepreneurial skills and grit, migrants from Hadramaut have long flourished in Saudi Arabia,
04:07
from running family restaurants to starting multi-billion-dollar construction consortiums.
04:12
Losing Hadramaut to a UAE-backed militia would be a strategic blow to Riyadh.
04:24
The latest escalation pits the Saudi alliance against a militia keen to exert control over territory
04:30
it sees as historically distinct from the rest of Yemen. The decade-long, largely fruitless fight
04:37
against the Houthis may not give Riyadh much cause for optimism. Despite spending billions in a campaign
04:43
including airstrikes, the Saudi-led intervention has failed to bring the Houthis to heel. Military
04:49
experts cite the south's more open terrain as playing to Saudi Arabia's possible advantage.
04:56
An air campaign alone, however, is unlikely to dislodge their forces.
