Pressuring the STC to dissolve itself was a mistake!

[Fatima Alasrar @YemeniFatima]

The streets in Aden today speak for themselves. Power may reside in Riyadh’s decrees, but physical authority and popular mandate clearly remain on the Southern street. Any durable settlement for Yemen must reconcile these two divergent realities.

[Ali Al-Sakani | علي السكني @Alsakaniali]

PLC member Abu Zaraa Al-Mahrami has issued directives imposing a citywide curfew in Aden, to be enforced daily from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM.

The move comes as STC-affiliated forces withdraw from #Aden, with the Giants Brigades assuming responsibility for security.

Breaking: Presidential decree from Yemen's UN-backed government strips Zubaidi of PLC membership for 'high treason.' The speed of escalation tells you how narrow the window for de-escalation has become.

@SGozi1985 @ChelseaSTrust Second this. Surely some Trust-led fan pressure on the board please @ChelseaSTrust. This current state pertains not only to the present managerial situation; there is now a dark cloud hovering over the very future of how on-the-pitch matters take place long term at the club.

This statement is issued with reference to the statement made today, Tuesday, 30th December 2025, by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates regarding the ongoing developments in the Republic of Yemen, and the facts it outlined concerning the presence of the UAE Armed Forces in Yemen within the framework of the Arab Coalition to Support Legitimacy.

The Ministry of Defence affirms that the United Arab Emirates has participated as part of the Arab Coalition since 2015 in support of legitimacy in Yemen, in backing international efforts to combat terrorist organisations, and in pursuit of security and stability for the brotherly Yemeni people. The UAE has made great sacrifices in achieving these objectives.

The Ministry of Defence notes that the UAE Armed Forces concluded their military presence in the Republic of Yemen in 2019 after completing the assigned missions within the agreed official frameworks. The remaining presence was limited to specialised personnel as part of counterterrorism efforts, in coordination with relevant international partners.

In light of recent developments and their potential implications for the safety and effectiveness of counterterrorism missions, the Ministry of Defence announces the termination of the remaining counterterrorism personnel in Yemen of its own volition, in a manner that ensures the safety of its personnel and in coordination with the concerned partners.

The Ministry of Defence affirms that this measure comes within the context of a comprehensive assessment of the requirements of the current phase, and in line with the commitments of the United Arab Emirates and its role in supporting security and stability in the region.

#Statement | Pursuant to the statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 25/12/2025 corresponding to 5/7/1447 regarding the Kingdom’s concerted efforts, working with the brotherly United Arab Emirates, to end and contain the escalatory steps taken by the Southern Transitional Council in the governorates of Hadramout and Al-Mahara, and in reference to the statement issued by the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council, and the statement issued by the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen regarding the movement of ships carrying weapons and armored vehicles from the port of Al-Fujairah to the port of Al-Mukalla, without obtaining official approvals of the Coalition Joint Forces Command.

A notable remark from Emirati political analyst Abdulkhaleq Abdulla on #Yemen.

[مأرب الورد @mareb_alward]

الواضح أن الضربة لم تكن عسكرية بحتة، فمعظم المدرعات ما زالت سليمة. الرسالة الأهم كانت سياسية: للمرة الأولى يُشار للإمارات بشكل غير مباشر كطرف داعم لمشروع انفصالي، وهو تحوّل لافت في خطاب التحالف ومغزاه أكبر من أثر الضربة نفسها.

[Ali Al-Sakani | علي السكني @Alsakaniali]

For the first time, the #UAE has been accused of violating UN Security Council resolutions (2216), fueling the conflict in Yemen, and threatening regional security and stability through its support for the STC, according to the Saudi-led coalition.

JUST IN: Saudi airstrikes in S. Yemen

• Hit Mekkla port in Hadramout
• Saudi says it hit weaponry for STC
• Saudi says weapons came from Fujairah port in UAE via 2 ships

These are first ever strikes by Saudi Arabia implicating UAE, its former ally in Yemen. UAE backs STC
