In Yemen's fractured south, the Saudi-led coalition has drawn a hard line against UAE-backed separatists whose seizure of oil-rich territory has exposed a quiet rupture within an alliance forged against a common enemy. What began as a shared war against Houthi forces has revealed the older truth that coalitions are held together by interest, not loyalty — and when those interests diverge, the ground shifts beneath everyone. The warning issued Saturday is less a military communiqué than a confession: a decade of war has not produced unity, only new fault lines.
