The Yemeni ambassador to Jordan Ali Al-Amrani said that the UAE's danger to his country exceeded the threat posed by Iran, expressing the hope that "the retreat of its agenda in Yemen quickly and urgently."

"The UAE's threat to Yemen has surpassed that of Iran," Amrani said in a tweet on his Twitter account. "Nobody expected this even in the worst nightmares."

"This recognizes all Yemenis, even those whom the UAE has linked to personal interests to buy their silence or loyalty. When we talk about brothers we are deeply sorry.

"Can the UAE revise its agenda in Yemen quickly and expeditiously, for its own benefit, for Yemen and for the Arab alliance," Al-Amrani wrote in a tweet.

Earlier, the Yemeni government accused the UAE of bombing the military situation in Shabwa province, southeast of Yemen.

The spokesman of the legitimate Yemeni government, Rajeh Badi, said in a statement published by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), that the command of the UAE forces in Balhaf in Shabwa province is responsible for bombing the military situation and trying to storm the city of Ataq, the capital of the province.

He also said that the UAE has detonated the situation in Ataq despite the great efforts of Saudi Arabia to end the crisis and stop the military escalation.

On Thursday evening, clashes erupted on the outskirts of the city of Ataq between the government forces and others affiliated with the UAE-backed Transitional Council.

Hundreds of people from the Yemeni province of Taiz demonstrated in Freedom Square after Friday prayers in support of the legitimate Yemeni government.

The demonstrators chanted against the UAE, called for its expulsion from the coalition and the departure of its forces Yemen, and described its presence as occupation.

It is noteworthy that there is strong indignation in Yemen against the UAE and its support for the coup carried out by the so-called Southern Transitional Council in Aden.
