UAE Plans Reduction of Troops in Yemen

Houthi Rebels Call for Full Withdrawal Instead

The war in Yemen seems to be coming to its minimal state as officials are noting that the United Arab Emirates are planning to reduce their troop presence in the war-torn Yemen. Despite the indications of troop withdrawal, the Emirati officials are describing the departure as redeployment and have taken their stand in full commitment with the Saudi led coalition which has been fighting the Houthi rebels since 2015.

According to the rebels, they see this as a partial withdrawal to improve the image of the UAE in front of the international community, that the withdrawal was a full pressure from the United Kingdom and they are now calling for a full withdrawal instead.
