relations with saudi arabia i mean to the to differ in their aims for yemen. when totally different aims for yemen but since the beginning of the war the saudi's main partner on the ground has been forces who are seen as being aligned with islam with some what some people call not entirely accurately yemen's muslim brotherhood whereas the u.a.e. has really built its relationship with the southern forces that became the s.t.c. who are rabidly anti it's large so we've had this problem for a long time of a general goal of defeating that who thirty's and eroding iranian influence in yemen using groups who are diametrically opposed in terms of their goals and there's a another issue here which is the u.a.e. some time as thought that the war could only be ended politically that there isn't a military solution they were the architects of this push up the red sea coast much fear an attempt to weaken the movies and push them into a weaker negotiating position when the u.s. and in the wider international community into being and they made it very clear that ok the war's

crises affecting saudi foreign policy but from the beginning the saudi interests in yemen were quite different having to do with its southern border and and dynamics relating to the north of yemen whereas u.a.e. was always primarily focused on its mercantile interests on the ports on the battlemented straits and and things happening in the waterway south of yemen and the coastal communities that relate commercially with those areas and so i think the u.a.e. felt when they left that they could they had left you know commanders in charge of unified forces and that their commercial interests would be protected but obviously they were wrong and saudi arabia can be aggrieved that he said so who's in the driving seat as far as the war in yemen is concerned right meeting achieved anything given the nature of the relationship between the u.a.e. and saudi arabia what happens next. it could but this is a good example of where seeing proxy conflicts and yemen in particular as a case where there are a puppet tears and puppets in a proxy conflict doesn't entirely explain what's going on because u
