United Arab Emirates State Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr. Anwar Gargash stated on Friday that the Arab Coalition’s handling of the Aden crisis in Yemen helped avert strife. He said in a series of tweets that the crisis was originally caused by a lack of justice. The responsible Arab media does not distort regional stances, but it reports according to its understanding of policies that have intervened in Arab affairs, he added. Any action has to have a reaction, he tweeted. Priority should be given to defeating the Houthi militias and their agenda, he urged. Serious Yemeni dialogue is needed to tackle real issues that have accumulated, Gargash said. It is necessary to stress to those seeking strife that the UAE’s position mirrors that of Saudi Arabia, he declared. “We are building a strategic partnership that includes the Yemen crisis and goes beyond it,” added the minister. “We are also required to properly administer affairs and tackle priorities, without neglecting demands. We are also required to take the political initiative given the major fractures that are appearing among the Houthi ranks,” he continued.
