ABU DHABI, 4th February, 2018 (WAM) -- In an editorial on Sunday, the Khaleej Times said that the UAE and Saudi Arabia are keen to develop Yemen socially and economically while strengthening its political structure and institutions.
"The goal for the Arab coalition is to liberate all of Yemen from the Houthi rebels. It's a matter of principle for both the UAE and Saudi Arabia who are on the same page on the issue. The bond between the two Gulf countries has only grown stronger as they have fought together during the three-year campaign to rid Yemen of Iranian influence.
"Tehran has meddled and has done its best to sow discord and disunity among Gulf nations but the efforts will fail and its proxy force in Yemen will bite the dust. This is a war for the soul of the country and Tehran has already lost the moral battle; it will soon lose the major war that will rid the region of its evil influence," the English language daily added.
It went on to say that the UAE and Saudi Arabia are keen to develop Yemen socially and economically while strengthening its political structure and institutions. They have provided humanitarian assistance to their suffering brethren in the impoverished country and have met with great success particularly in the South.
"Aden is experiencing calm and stability after three tumultuous years of war. The region is back on track and people are returning to their normal lives. This is a joint effort and it will be so. It has taken sacrifice and resolve to liberate the South. As the coalition forces push on into Houthi controlled enclaves in the North, towards the capital Sana'a, there is much expectation from ordinary Yemenis suffering from starvation and exploitation.
"Liberation is at hand, and the UAE and Saudi Arabia are committed to the Yemeni people who deserve a better future after decades of war. The two countries are the bulwark of stability in the region," the Dubai-based daily continued.
It concluded, "Together, they are a force to reckon with for the development and protection of the region. This is a just fight and the UAE and Saudi Arabia will together prevail in defeating the common foe on the battlefield while breaking its will to ever venture out into another proxy war in the region."
