American magazine: Yemen, like Libya, the division between two competing powers

An analysis of an American magazine said that Yemen has become a political division between two major competing powers.
The analysis of the magazine "Foreign Averez" entitled "The deadly imbalance in the new Middle East" indicated that, after more than ten years of war, Yemen has become a political division between two major competing powers; They are the Houthis in the north and the Presidential Council.
He continued: "As is the case in Libya, the competition between the external powers contributed to fueling the conflict, and the Houthi group has the support of Iran, while Saudi Arabia will host the Presidential Council."
He emphasized that "the presidential council itself suffers from internal divisions, and leads external competition to increase tensions between its components."
He pointed out, "The UAE supported a faction within the council seeking to be separated, in reference to the transitional council."
He said that "the Emirati -Saudi tensions are around the oil -rich Hadramout Governorate led to the deepening of differences, as Saudi Arabia generally controls the interior of the governorate, while the UAE dominates the coast.
He also referred to the clashes that erupted between agents of both powers, "What raises fears of the escalation of violence between them in the coming months," as he put it.
He added: “In light of this chaos, Al -Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and other terrorist groups managed to expand their operations in eastern and southern Yemen.”
American Senate Member, Joe Wilson, stressed the necessity of working with Saudi Arabia and the UAE to unify the Yemeni army to defeat the Houthis.
He said, that he discussed with the President of the Presidential Council, Rashad Al -Alimi, on the sidelines of the Munich conference, the need to liberate Yemen from Iran, and made it great again, he said.
Wilson invited the Sultanate of Oman during the past month to sever its ties with the Houthis, and to close their office in the capital, Muscat.
