After being accused of supporting the coup Aden .. Hadi government seeks to exclude the UAE from the coalition and pursued

A Yemeni minister said that the government asked President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi to stop the UAE participation in the coalition after accusing it of supporting the coup of the Southern Transitional Council on the legitimate authority in the interim capital Aden, which Abu Dhabi disavowed.

Transport Minister Saleh al-Jibwani revealed the request to exclude the UAE from the coalition, in statements published by the Russian agency Sputnik on Wednesday.

He said that political and human rights files will be prepared for international bodies and courts against the UAE and its officers. He added that the files will include all the violations Abu Dhabi has done in Yemen and secret prisons and encroachment on the sovereignty of the country and cut off parts of its territory.

He also said that the transitional council was born in an intelligence room in Abu Dhabi, and that it is a 100 percent Emirati tool, as he put it.

During an extraordinary meeting held yesterday in Riyadh, the Yemeni government held the UAE fully responsible for the coup attempt to separate south Yemen from the north, and called on it to stop all forms of support and funding for militias.

The government said in a statement that the UAE-backed armed rebellion had undermined state institutions and tore the social fabric, and called on Saudi Arabia to support legitimacy plans to end the insurgency.

However, the UAE denied through its mission to the United Nations to have supported the coup, which was completed in Aden on the tenth of this month, and later expanded to include areas in the neighboring province of Abyan.

During a session of the Security Council yesterday, the deputy UN envoy Saud Al Shamsi expressed his total rejection of what he described as allegations and allegations addressed to his country on the developments in Aden.

Al Shamsi said the UAE was part of a joint team with Saudi Arabia that sought to preserve national institutions in Aden, he said.

During the same session, Yemeni UN envoy Abdullah al-Saadi said that his government held the Southern Transitional Council (NTC), and those who supported it, accountable for what he called the armed rebellion in Aden.

The Yemeni delegate also called on the UAE to stop supporting and arming what he said were rebel militias and to abide by the coalition's objectives in Yemen, he said.

Yemen's deputy foreign minister, Mohammed al-Hadrami, said his government was moving to take action as mandated by international law and the UN charter to ensure that UAE support that enabled the armed rebellion in Aden and Abyan was stopped.

Al-Hadrami added that the government will not participate in any dialogue until after the withdrawal from the positions taken by the UAE-backed transitional council, the delivery of the looted weapons, and the return of government forces to their positions.

He called for the cessation of financial support, the withdrawal of military support provided by the UAE to the Southern Transitional Council and the cessation of all violations against innocent citizens, including journalists, military, security and civilian leaders.

Riyadh has called for dialogue between the Yemeni parties concerned with the recent events in Aden, and talked about the start of the withdrawal of separatist forces from the institutions of the state that took control recently, which denied the Southern Transitional Council.
