A continued UAE control of Yemeni ports and islands would be a security threat to the entire region, southern Yemeni politician politician Ali Hussein al-Bujairi has stated.
In a message, al-Bujairi said that “the control over Yemeni ports, islands and airports by the UAE (…)is a step of conspiracy against some Gulf countries.”
قلناها ونكررها بقاء دويلة الشياطين ومرتزقتها في المواني والمطارات والجزر اليمنية فيه خطورة على امن المنطقة فهي تتآمر وتدرب المعارضين لبلدانهم في جزرنا اليمنية وتتآمر على بعض الدول الخليجية التي تختلف معها ويتم تهريب الاسلحة والمخدرات عبر هذه الاماكن الئ عدت دول

Al-Bujairi pointed out that the UAE has worked to smuggle drugs and weapons from Yemeni ports and islands to various countries, describing the UAE as a “nation of devils.”
