UAE Announces Removal Of Forces And End Of Counter-Terrorism Operations In Yemen

  • The UAE firmly rejected claims of involvement that would compromise the security of Saudi Arabia and reaffirmed its support for the kingdom’s efforts.

  • UAE’s presence in Yemen was very much within the framework of the Saudi-led Arab Coalition, but with ongoing developments, they announced their decision to remove the UAE forces from Yemen.
