    Why Saudi Arabia and the UAE can't stop the Yemen war | The Economist

    Greg, Leina

    Strategic divergences between Saudi Arabia and the UAE have destabilized their bilateral alliance through conflicting approaches in Yemen, where Riyadh supports state unification against Emirati backing for separatists, and in Sudan, where Riyadh prioritizes state sovereignty while the UAE protects commercial interests via the Rapid Support Forces. These opposing geopolitical strategies have prolonged the Sudanese civil war, exacerbating humanitarian suffering and undermining regional stability. Furthermore, the Gulf states' collective investment in acquiring foreign arable land has proven counterproductive, as such meddling fuels local instability that threatens the very supply chains these nations sought to secure.
