It's been nearly two years since the United Arab Emirates sent its forces to the Yemeni island of Socotra under a deal with Yemen's former government. The forces are now changing the island's ecology and depleting its natural resources. As Press TV's Mohamad al-Attab reports, Yemen's ministry of environment has objected to what's happening there.
