On November 5th, Yemen’s Saudi-backed government reached a peace agreement with the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) to end the power struggle over Aden, Yemen.
As per the agreement, reached after more than a month of indirect talks in Saudi Arabia. The STC would join a new cabinet along with other southerners and all armed forces would be placed under government control. The Saudi puppet government’s control.
“This agreement will open, God willing, broader talks between Yemeni parties to reach a political solution and end the war,” Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said in a televised signing ceremony in Riyadh.
“This agreement will open a new period of stability in Yemen. The kingdom of Saudi Arabia stands with you,” he added.
Both Yemen’s President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi and STC leader Aidarous al-Zoubeidi attended the ceremony in Riyadh, along with Abu Dhabi’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan.
US President Donald Trump hailed the agreement as a “very good start” and hoped that a final deal would be reached.
A very good start! Please all work hard to get a final deal. https://t.co/IYGeBqQIQ9

In August, the STC-dominated Security Belt Forces took control of Aden. Yemen’s Defence Ministry said in a statement that more than 300 people were killed and wounded by UAE air strikes on Aden and Abyan Province.
“The Yemeni government condemns the Emirati air strikes against government forces in the interim capital Aden and in Zinjibar, which resulted in civilian and military casualties,” Deputy Foreign Minister of the Saudi-backed government Mohammad al-Hadhram said.
The UAE and forces it backs shifted their focus from fighting against the Houthis in the south of Yemen, to fighting against the Saudi-backed government, further widening the rift.
Bin Breik further said over Twitter, that the STC had two major goals:
- To defeat the Houthis in the south;
- To defeat Al-Qaeda and ISIS, which they consider are propagated by the Saudi-backed government.
Despite that it appears that progress was made, as there was an agreement reached and now focus may, once again, shift on the Houthis.
The fighting exposed simmering divisions between Saudi Arabia and the UAE, leading the coalition carrying out the intervention in Yemen.
The Houthis have offered to halt all attacks on Saudi Arabia as part of a wider peace initiative, later repeating their proposal despite continued air strikes from the Saudi-led coalition.
Regardless, Saudi Arabia is on the back foot in the fight against the Houthis, with or without the UAE’s support in the intervention. The agreement between the UAE-backed STC and Yemen’s “internationally recognized” Saudi puppet government simply delays an outcome that seems more inevitable with time.

Not even this agreement can make a breakthrough in the war. Saudi Arabia wants out and all experts says the agreement can implode at any minute. This is the beginning of the end of the yemen war
Ahh…. why read fantasy when reality beats everything to dust. An Saudi-barbarian Gov reatches an deal with the UAE backed Gov, niiiiiice one, on how to rule Yemen, and people forget some basic facts, the rat Hadi, was elected in something taken out of an comedy, the sole partisipant and the only one people could eh…. elect in an election so bad that the word sham isnt even close to the skeme they, the Saudi-barbarians, managed to charf up, and why on earth would the Yemen people acsept this scandale of an election, huh, and they, the west incl of course Trump the Chimp said it was fair and squair, yup, the shoah must go on, and UAE, yeah, another little rotten shithole infested with souls of the devil, pure scums, and all with the silent consent of the western uber rats.
You cant make this shit up, it would be hilarious if it wasnt so bloody serious. The looser is the Yemen people, whom have more scums crawling all over their land then ever before. And on top of it the African Mofo whom is over there and slaughters civlians and make war in an senario they are bound to loose, war criminals, and do notice then Janjaweed, the sole group the western MSM reported did horrific crimes against people in Suran and so on, and now, dead silent, yeah, its just Yemens, right, lower than cockroatches, arent they, since even our “eminent” MSM is dead silent, probably because they cant glue Iran to any of this, so its not worthy to write about. The mere fact that Clockwork Orange is opening mouth should tell the rest, like when the ISISraeli Gov praised the latest attacks on the Iranians in Iraq, well, how kind of them, right, again, it tells us that there is something stinking rotten in the Arab lands, and why on earth are we even bothering to read on what this scums are doing, the chouse the to be with the devils spawns, and is happy with it, and this shows us everything when it comes to Yemen. May you f…. rott in hell.

sudanese and Colombian mercenaries have been obliterated by the Houthis…SA/UAE/USA sadists celebrate suffering and torture
Official Press Conference on agreement between Hadi forces and UAE backed STC.
Ronald McDonald’s Playhouse and Coalition HQ – Statement from the Glorious Coalition in its ongoing quest to bring peace and prosperity to Yemen.
Coalition spokesman: With this historic agreement, we, the glorious leaders of the Coalition, can put to rest those persistent rumors that our Coalition is faltering. Nothing could be further from the truth. This document represents a grand achievement that reaffirms the deep love between the two kingdoms of SA and UAE and together we will march on to victory over the Houthis.
Yes, victory will be ours despite a few minor setbacks in the past that have been rudely and falsely characterized as a total catastrophe. We have recovered fully having bought many more Toyota’s and a thank you to the CEO of Toyota for the lovely gift basket. We have also hired/kidnapped more mercenary fodder – and F.U. Sudan, we will just go elsewhere to find ferocious fighters – and unlike you, these fighters will fight, putting an end to our offensives turning into Houthi resupply missions…
And with our two kingdoms reunited once again, the Coalition will continue the valiant effort and building upon past successes we will hand defeat to the Houthis once and for all… Why is everyone laughing… I did not make a funny…
Anyway, questions?
(The Coalition embedded a couple of reporters to ask tennis ball questions but these reporters seem to be absent and as several reporters raise hands, the Coalition spokesman reluctantly picks one of the reporters)
Reporter 1: The word on the street is that this grand achievement is like a band-aid on a festering wound that desperately needs to be lanced. But this is not the issue since the treaty is expected to be short-lived, so short-lived in fact that it might even be shorter than ‘quantum of time’, the smallest measurement of time, equal to 10 to the power of -43 seconds. That certainly would be a grand achieveme…
Coalition spokesman interrupts: Shut up, we were only prepared to answer softball questions…
(Coalition spokesman picks a second reporter)
Reporter 2: The Coalition has been described as roadkill rotting on the Houthi highway. So if you are continuing the “success” would it be fair to say that the stench would become so far reaching that it could be detected by NASA’s Voyager Space Craft despite having exited our solar system some time ago?
The Coalition spokesman does not answer and storms out of the room.
