Yemen warns 'lava of fire' as Saudi Arabia claims mysterious base

Follow up to this story from a few days ago.

[EN.ALGHADEERTV.NET] Saudi Arabia

...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century...
has acknowledged that it has constructed a military base on an island in the Bab al-Mandab strait to fight the Sana’a-based government.

In a Thursday statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency, an official said all equipment currently present on Yemen

...also for some reason known as Perim Island...

is under the control of the Saudi-led war "coalition".

The unnamed official said the equipment was transferred to the island in order to enable the former Yemeni government and coalition forces to counter Ansarullah fighters, secure maritime navigation, and support the West Coast forces.

Mayyun Island, which was occupied by Saudi-led forces and mercenaries in 2015, is located in the Red Sea on one of the world’s crucial maritime trade routes for energy shipments and commercial cargo.

On Tuesday, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported that "a mysterious airbase" is being built on the island, publishing satellite images of the center with a 1.85km runway alongside three hangars.

While the AP said no country had laid claim to the airbase, it cited officials from the former Yemeni government as saying that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was behind the military build-up on the island.

However,
we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by...
the Saudi official contradicted the claim that the UAE was behind the construction, saying the "reports in the media with regard to the presence of UAE forces on the Islands of Socotra and Mayyun are baseless and unfounded."

The source added that the current UAE role is focused within "coalition" forces on providing air support in Ma’rib, which Yemen’s armed forces are trying to liberate from the control of Saudi-led mercenaries.

Back in 2019, the UAE announced that it would withdraw its forces from Yemen, in what Yemenis have described as a false declaration over fears of Yemeni retaliation.

Military officials from Yemen’s former government told the AP that Emirati ships dispatched weapons, military equipment, and troops to the island in recent weeks for the construction of the airbase.

UAE officials have not yet commented on the AP report.

YEMEN WARNS TO TARGET UAE WITH ’LAVA OF FIRE’
In response to the developments, Yemen’s Foreign Minister Hisham Sharaf Abdullah warned that the UAE’s measures on the Socotra and Mayyun islands are in violation of international law.

Sharaf Abdullah said Yemen will not keep silent over such illegal measures by the Emiratis on Yemeni soil, Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady human sacrifice days of Baal Moloch...
’s al-Mayadeen news network reported.

"If you do not leave our lands and islands, the lava of fire will soon reach you," he warned the UAE.

"We advise the rulers of Abu Dhabi to maintain their lands and government within the borders of the UAE. We remind the rulers of Abu Dhabi that Yemen will be able to return them to their sanity," the Yemeni minister added.

Saudi Arabia and its allies, the UAE in particular, have been waging a deadly war on Yemen since March 2015 to return Yemen’s former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi to power.

The war — which the Saudis claimed would last only a few weeks but is still ongoing — has killed more than 230,000 people in what the United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
has described as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

The Saudi war has also destroyed much of Yemen’s infrastructure, and according to the UN, it has caused outbreaks of disease, and brought the poor Arab country to the brink of famine.

He added that since the island had already been taken possession of in the name of the East India Company in 1799.... Wiki
