Yemeni politician: UAE control of Yemeni islands and ports is security threat to entire region

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.”

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.”
