The Saudi-led camp waging a devastating war in Yemen has been running into serious problems.

It has been under mounting pressure for failing to achieve its goals and also because of escalating retaliatory attacks carried out by Yemeni fighters.

The war has not gone the way the Saudis and allied Emiratis had planned before the start of the campaign in March 2015. And now things are getting worse for the aggressors as signs of a widening rift between them are emerging.

This week, Yemen’s port city of Aden was rocked by heavy clashes between Emirati-backed separatists, and Saudi-backed militants who support former president  Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi

The two groups which are heavily armed and funded by the UAE and Saudi Arabia to fight Ansarullah fighters instead turned on each other.
