Rival Saudi-, UAE- backed militants claim advance in southern Yemen
[PRESSTV] Saudi-backed faceless myrmidons loyal to Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
’s former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi have claimed advances in the fight against once-allied UAE-backed faceless myrmidons in southern Yemen, who have denied the claim.

A source in the government of former president Hadi said the Saudi-backed faceless myrmidons captured the city of Ja'ar in the southern province of Abyan
...a governorate of Yemen. The region was a base to the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army terrorist group until it dropped the name and joined al-Qaeda. Its capital is Zinjibar. In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an Islamic Emirate after seizing control of the region. The New York Times fastidiously reported that those in control, while Islamic hard boyz, are not in fact al-Qaeda, but something else that looks, tastes, smells, and acts the same. Yemeni government forces launched an effort to re-establish control of the region when President-for-Life Saleh was tossed and the carnage continues...
on Sunday following fierce festivities with the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) separatists.

The source told Anadolu Agency that Abdel-Rahman Shineini, a senior commander of STC hard boys, had been maimed during the fighting.

STC spokesperson Mohammad al-Naqib, however, dismissed the report, saying the UAE-backed faceless myrmidons had repelled an "infiltration attempt" against the city.

"Within half an hour, the infiltrators were eliminated," he said in a tweet.

Yemen's southern regions have witnessed renewed festivities between Saudi-backed faceless myrmidons and STC separatists since the Southern Transitional Council in late April declared a state of emergency and announced "self-administration rule" in Yemen’s southern areas, including the port city of Aden which has served as the seat of Hadi’s regime.

Soddy 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. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
said the declaration violated the Riyadh-brokered agreement which Hadi loyalists and the STC had signed last November to end their power struggle in southern Yemen.
