Y.A

A assassination operations and security disorder grow higher in Aden, southern Yemen, since the United Arab Emirates, a main part of the Saudi-led coalition, backed by the US, took over the city in 2016.

An official was killed by unknown gunmen on Wednesday in Yemen’s southern of Aden, witnesses said.The gunmen opened fire towards Faisal Dhibian, an employee of the Control and Accounting Agency in al-Mansoura district.

The central organization for control and auditing (COCA) offered sincere condolences on Faisal Dhabyan, director of the technical sector in Aden branch.According to Saba News Agency, the head of COCA, Ali Al-Emad, considered what happened to Dhibianof criminal cowardly act in Aden as a continuation of the assassinations scenes against the people in Aden in general and against those who have undertaken to combat corruption and maintain public money in particular.

At the same time, Al-Emad holds the coalition’s authorities and its paid fighters full responsible for these crimes, calling on all members of the organization in the governorates under its control to be vigilant against the criminal operations committed by armed elements and paid fighters affiliated with those forces.

SAM Organization for Rights and Liberties, based in Geneva, aso recorded 103 murders in Aden in three years, pointing out that the report adopted a statistical methodology based on monitoring and documenting the assassinations during the period from 2015 to 2018.

The organization said in a recent report titled “Invisible Killer” that the assassinations focused on security men, preachers of mosques and politicians.

US media outlet BuzzFeed , in addition, carried the report , identifying the US company as Delaware-headquartered Spear Operations Group, which reveals that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) hired a US security contractor to start an Israeli-style targeted killing program in Yemen in 2015 against figures undesired by Abu Dhabi.

“There have been 25 to 30 assassinations,” said Gregory Johnsen, a former United Nations Yemen war investigator, while Golan said he modeled his operations on Israel’s targeted killing program, which has been underway since 1948.

Lawyers’ Syndicate organized in the same city a protest rally against the continuing disruption to activate the prosecution and courts in the UAE-held southern provinces four years ago, raising banners demanding the judicial authority to activate justice and end the strike.

The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia’s main partner in the Saudi-led coalition, backed by the US, has bought around $1.8 billion worth of American arms at an Abu Dhabi military exhibition.

In a press release, Amnesty said the investigation “has highlighted how the UAE is arming out-of-control militias operating in Yemen with a range of advanced weaponry – much of it sourced from Western countries, including the UK.”

The US continues to “provide support to the coalition,” Major General David C. Hill, deputy commander of US Army Central, told AFP on the sidelines of a military exhibition in the Emirati capital Abu Dhabi .

According to an official December 2017 US Air Force Central Command document obtained by Yahoo News on Wednesday, the US “escorted 6 UAE F-16s to RED FLAG; assisted 150 airmen in challenging ex[ercise] to prepare for combat ops in Yemen.”

Israel’s leading daily Haaretz says Tel Aviv is a partner to the Saudi war on Yemen and is “reaping the profits” from its partnership in the brutal aggression.

The UAE has been Saudi Arabia’s main ally in the military campaign against Yemen.Assassination operations and security disorder have been grown in Aden since the United Arab Emirates took over the city in 2016.

In March 2015, the US -backed –Saudi-led coalition started  a war against Yemen with the declared aim of crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement, who had taken over from the staunch Riyadh ally and fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, while also seeking to secure the Saudi border with its southern neighbor. Three years and over 600,000 dead and injured Yemeni people and  prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country, the war has yielded little to that effect.

Despite the coalition claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

However, Saudi Arabia relies heavily on the US in its brutal war on Yemen. Washington has deployed a commando force on the Arab kingdom’s border with Yemen to help destroy arms belonging to Yemen’s popular Houthi Ansarullah movement. Washington has also provided logistical support and aerial refueling.
