The Saudi-led coalition, mired in a years-long war in Yemen, has rejected a declaration of self-rule by pro-Emirati militants in Yemen’s southern regions. 

National political parties led by the Ansarallah movement described the move by Riyadh as a cover-up to achieve its goals.

The Saudi-led coalition has urged the UAE-backed forces to return to a power-sharing deal signed in Riyadh last November; however, political analysts say Riyadh is using the case as a pretext for its hidden agendas.

Riyadh’s agreement halted months of heavy clashes between the UAE-backed troops and forces loyal to former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi. Both sides serve the Saudi-led military coalition and have been engaged in a bloody war on Yemeni people since March 2015.

Experts have stressed that there is no military solution to the conflict in Yemen. The latest Saudi attempts to tear the country apart will be another failure for the Kingdom and will only leave a trail of deaths and destruction.
