Riyadh-UAE Rift Deepens as MBS Delivers Formal Complaint Over Yemen and Sudan

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sent a lengthy complaint to UAE national security adviser Tahnoon bin Zayed, accusing Abu Dhabi of backing Yemen’s RSF and supporting Sudan’s civil war in ways Riyadh cannot tolerate, while offering mediation through Khalid bin Salman. The letter, which framed Yemen as a Saudi sphere of influence and stressed national security, underscores a growing rift with the UAE even as the two sides describe their ties as brotherly and seek behind‑the‑scenes mediation in Washington.

Rival Gulf Visions Shake the Region: Saudi Restraint vs UAE Intervention

Saudi Arabia pursues de-escalatory development and border security to insulate its domestic agenda, while the UAE embraces pre-emptive activism to reshape a brittle regional order. The late-2025 Yemen crisis exposed a direct Saudi–Emirati split as UAE-backed forces briefly seized border provinces before Saudi-led forces reversed them, prompting Riyadh to accuse Abu Dhabi of undermining its leadership. The dispute threatens GCC cohesion, tests responses to Israel normalization, and reshapes security arrangements and external alignments, with policymakers needing to manage competing risk tolerances rather than assuming convergence.

Somalia’s Sovereignty Test: Somaliland Recognition and UAE Rift Reshape Horn of Africa

Somalia cut port-security deals with the UAE after Israel recognised Somaliland as an independent state, accusing Abu Dhabi of backing Somaliland and undermining Somalia’s sovereignty. The UAE reportedly pulled security assets from Bosaso, while Somaliland’s DP World-operated Berbera port remains active. Analysts say the move reflects widening regional blocs and tensions over Yemen, with Mogadishu seeking support from Turkey and Saudi Arabia, though the central government lacks full authority over Somaliland and other semi‑autonomous regions.

Promises, Pay, and Prison: Yemeni Youth Trapped in Russia’s Frontline Network

A BBC investigation shows Yemenis lured to Russia with promises of money, fast-tracked citizenship, and safety end up fighting in Ukraine. The stories of Khalil and Hussein illustrate a recruitment pipeline that exploits poverty, misleads families with false deaths, and traps men in contracts that extend beyond their control as Russia widens its foreign-fighter program. Dozens of Yemenis have been killed or imprisoned, while many families struggle to locate loved ones, face ongoing uncertainty, and cope with the collapse of Yemen and the fighters’ shattered futures.
