The relationship between the two main countries in the coalition of aggression against Yemen, that is, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, has always been the subject of controversy over its nature and consequences. It became clear, even in the most embarrassing moments of the war, that each of the “sworn” allies has different ambitions and goals in this country, and that what unites them is nothing more than the motto “restore legitimacy”, that still carries its flag, that is, Riyadh, unable to Achieve. A deficiency also applies to the mechanism for controlling disputes between local agents of the two parties in the governorates occupied by them, where power struggles continue despite all the negotiations that were fought to stop them, the latest of which it was the one that spawned the “Riyadh Accord”, which has become almost brain dead. In the midst of this, the two countries find no solution other than coercion, each dedicated to consolidating their strengths, anticipating the post-war period, which the Emiratis are struggling to achieve with the greatest amount of gains drawn from the Saudis’ path. Perhaps this is what the summary of a leaked Emirati document obtained by Al-Akhbar says, which deals with the assessments of local parties on the relationship between Riyadh and Abu Dhabi, and based on them a set of scenarios and recommendations.

An explosion of the situation will follow, as the followers of the Emirates in the Taiz governorate seem less able to impose the equation that suits their employer’s interests. There are limitations that the second report of the two reports of the document recognizes, but does not show submission to it, since it underlines in its recommendations the need to activate a set of tools to prevent the “reformists” (the Brotherhood) from meddling and preserving Emirati influence in the “rural regions of the south and west that will be the object of the next rounds of conflict.” ». However, the events of the following months showed the sterility of these tools, as the “reform”, driven by growing Turkish-Qatari support, was able to expand into areas controlled by Abu Dhabi’s allies and drive out the last two. of them, until now threatening the western coast areas, which the UAE is trying to maintain.
