Emirates Secretly Sends Colombian Mercenaries to Fight in Yemen

By EMILY B. HAGER and MARK MAZZETTINOV. 25, 2015

The United Arab Emirates has secretly dispatched hundreds of Colombian mercenaries to Yemen to fight in that country’s raging conflict, adding a volatile new element in a complex proxy war that has drawn in the United States and Iran.

The arrival in Yemen of 450 Latin American troops — among them are also Panamanian, Salvadoran and Chilean soldiers — adds to the chaotic stew of government armies, armed tribes, terrorist networks and Yemeni militias currently at war in the country. Earlier this year, a coalition of countries led by Saudi Arabia, including the United States, began a military campaign in Yemen against Houthi rebels who have pushed the Yemeni government out of the capital, Sana.

I feel for the Houthies, who do not want to be under Saudi Control. So now the UEA has Latin American mercenaries to take care of them.

They had best keep those mercenaries over there in Yemen then, we should not allow them to return to Latin America, where they force Mexicans into the US and enter themselves.

This is what is happening in Syria, due to US, SA , Qatar involvement, and Israel of course.

Hmm, almost sounds like the Foreign Legion. I hope the readers caught Ms. Skinhead's last paragraph where she dragged in Israel again. I guess these skinheads just can't help themselves, but it is better that she occupy herself on forums than running around painting swastikas all over her town.

WHO takin' advantage of ceasefire to move in medical supplies...

WHO plans to distribute medical supplies in Yemen under ceasefire
15 Dec.`15 - The World Health Organization (WHO) said that the warring parties in Yemen have promised it "unconditional movement" of supplies and medical teams under a U.N. ceasefire that came into effect throughout the war-torn country on Tuesday.

Nineteen trucks pre-loaded with medical supplies in Aden and Sanaa are due to begin moving later in the day to start distribution across Yemen, WHO representative Ahmed Shadoul told a news briefing in Geneva, as peace talks began in Switzerland.

Some 150 metric tonnes of supplies in WHO's warehouse in Djibouti are expected to be shipped to Sanaa on Dec 21 or 22, he said. From there, ships will take them to other Yemeni ports.

"It depends on access, we will plan more if access is really granted. This is just a test," he said.

the persons most hated by YEMENIS in YEMEN are the HOUTHIS-----they are
Shiite shit allied with IRAN who seek to overturn the entire YEMENI "civilization" for the benefit of Iran. The real issue is Yemen's strategic assets. -----its ports are very important ----ADEN, TAIZ, and Hodeidah. is the short list ALSO---
Yemen borders on SAUDI ARABIA-------Yemenis are not "afraid" of Saudi arabia--- Saudi arabia never bothered yemen -----until Yemen because the STEPPING STONE FOR IRANIAN AGGRESSION. Saudi arabis could have easily conquered Yemen 1000 years ago. Houthis are to Yemen what alawite filth is
to Syria Iran has also planted Hezbollah animals in Yemen. -----the Yemenis
are knocking themselves out struggiing to resist the onslaught
speak to your local small grocery newspaper stand Yemeni

2 senior security officials assassinated in Yemen...

Suicide bomber targets police chief in Yemen's Aden, kills 7
January 17, 2016 - A suicide car bomber rammed his vehicle into the police chief's house in the southern Yemeni city of Aden on Sunday, killing seven civilians and security forces in a failed assassination attempt after militants killed two other security officials elsewhere in the country.

Police Chief Shallal Shayei survived a similar assassination attempt last month, as did the governor of the province earlier this month. Aden's previous governor was killed in an attack claimed by a local Islamic State affiliate. Ambulances raced to the police chief's house after the explosion, which could be heard across the city, witnesses said. Officials said an armored vehicle blocked the suicide car bomber meters from the gates of the house. Seven people were killed and 12 injured after the explosion ripped through a bus that was passing by.

Yemen has been mired in a conflict pitting the Shiite Houthi rebels against the internationally-backed government, which is allied with a Saudi-led coalition. The fighting has killed more than 5,800 people since last March, when the coalition began striking Houthi targets from the air. The chaos has allowed a powerful local al-Qaida affiliate and a more recently formed branch of the Islamic State group to expand their reach, including in Aden, Yemen's commercial hub.

U.S. drones have carried out a number of strikes since the start of the year targeting al-Qaida militants, according to security officials and witnesses, who said drone strikes killed 13 militants on Sunday in Jaar, a town seized by al-Qaida last year. They did not know the affiliation of the militants. It was not immediately possible to confirm the account. U.S. officials rarely speak publicly about the covert drone program.
