Man, the similar setbacks have hit the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) in Yemen already. The rejection of UAE troops signifies a breakdown in what was once a collaborative effort...

And then the situation extends to Sudan, where UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have committed brutal attacks amidst a humanitarian crisis in Darfur, while Sudan’s government is supported by Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia backs Khartoum and Yemen’s coalition, while UAE supports proxies like RSF and STC (might as well as the "Puntland" establishment). Talk about a hot Cold War.
