7/5/19 Nasser Arrabyee on the UAE’s Withdrawal From Yemen

by | Jul 9, 2019 | Interviews

Nasser Arrabyee discusses the news that UAE troops will soon be pulling out of Yemen. Arrabyee speculates that the Emirati government might realize the international stance on the war is finally turning against the Saudi coalition, and they want to get out in time to save some face. He also believes that Saudi Arabia won’t be able to prosecute the war without the UAE, even with American support. Part of the shifting tide may have to do with the fact that the United Nations finally released an estimate of over 200,000 civilian deaths there, after years of claiming that only around 10,000 had died.

  • “US arms sold to Saudi Arabia and UAE end up in wrong hands” (CNN)
