Saudi Arabia and UAE – Aiding ISIS and Al-Qaeda As Always
Saudi Arabia has long openly supporting ISIS/Al-Qaeda in Iraq, Syria, Libya, and other countries across the world. Likewise, the United Arab Emirates has done its own share of supporting terrorism.
In Yemen, Saudi Arabia has supported al-Qaeda terrorists fighting the Houthis. Yet, with the recent invasion, its support in terms of funding, training, and weapons has shifted to become a direct military action in support of al-Qaeda fighters on the ground. In areas where the Saudi/UAE troops as well as their “pro-government” allies have passed through on their march North, it has been al-Qaeda fighters who have filled the vacuum and assumed control.
In Aden, for instance, al-Qaeda forces are now controlling a number of areas of the city, patrolling and creating a quasi- governmental structure.
As Ahmed Al-Haj writes for the Associated Press,
In Aden, al-Qaida militants and other Islamic extremists continue to patrol the streets. Hundreds of al-Qaida militants hold some key areas in the port city, exploiting a vacuum left by pro-government forces pushing north, a high-ranking pro-Hadi security official and two other high-ranking pro-Hadi police officers, all in Aden, said.
We have a shortage of men," the state security official said. "Getting equipment (from coalition countries) is easy. Getting men to operate them is hard.
In other words, the Saudi and UAE forces are acting as the spearhead for the al-Qaeda forces who march right in, unopposed, to impose Sharia law and any number of horrific laws on an unfortunate population.
