Revealed: The foreign element within UAE forces in Yemen

[Frogman]

Why was there only one candidate, I don't know. BUT anyone who does not agree with Iran will obviously be labelled as a puppet. Nothing new!

There was only one candidate because the Yemeni revolt wasn't very successful. Much like Egypt, the figurehead was removed and replaced by someone who still had control of the old guard/deep state. It was never really representative.

This process was agreed through mediation by the KSA primarily and the United Nations, at the time it was seen as acceptable since he was only supposed to be temporary until the national dialogue committee finished its work and declared elections, something that was painstakingly long. They never got to that part.

Hadi unlike Saleh was unable to juggle tribal allegiances and as such couldn't guarantee the loyalty of his own troops. He also doesn't have a very large support base within the country anymore.

But it is funny when Iranians claim that the Houthis started a revolution when they are hand in hand with the deposed President Ali Abduallah Saleh. Quite ridiculous.

A few myths from this bogus article.

Gen.M.Hindmarsh is not being presented an award but a memento on 11th Nov 2014, when he gave a lecture on "Counterinsurgency Operations", as can also be seen from the picture below:

Commander of the UAE Presidential Guard Delivers a Lecture at the National Defense College Entitled "Counterinsurgency Operations".


The Air Force Officer, is the Commandant of the National Defence College, Major General Rashad Al Sa'adi

A bit of common sense - When you get awarded anything in the military, be it even just a certificate, it is always awarded by someone who is higher in rank then you. Here in the first picture you have two Major Generals. A little bit of common sense before posting such nonsense would have helped, instead of blind hatred.

It wasn't blind hatred, it was being unknowledgable about that particular point you made. I thought middle East eye was a decent enough source but if their caption was incorrect, then you are fully in the right to point out the error of it to me. Thank you.

The previous administrator of Saudi handled the Yemeni problem initially very well. There was a revolt and instead of allowing it to fall into chaos, they brought everyone together, put Hadi forward as a transitional government, and they were able to calm things down.

When the transitional period ended and the road to democracy wasn't accomplished, the Houthis and other tribes took the matter into their own hands. Unfortunately, we the new Saudi and UAE outlook, this time they didn't handle it well.

They could have brought everyone to the table again and push for candidates to be elected or maybe even see if transitional government could be extended for a few more months under a new timetable.

Instead they went gungo and reacted in a way that was disadvantageous both to the Yemeni people and their own role in Yemen's future.

Honestly speaking I thought you were just driven by blind hatred, but you have proven yourself to be quite a gentleman. I'm happy that you saw through the article and the points raised by me. Nice to meet you

People have to keep in mind that we had a fledgling Army, but over the last two decades, we have seriously turned things around, and in the process we haven't spared importing intellect from any corner of the globe.

Just for the record, we have active serving servicemen, as well as retired servicemen from different forces serving with us, but NOT in decision making roles, with the exception of one Pakistani

@Horus @waz @WAJsal @Icarus The title of the thread is offensive, and the news is half baked as I have posted in this thread previously. Would appreciate your input.

Thank You

UAE has mercenaries fighting for itself, Iranian mercenaries are fighting for Assad, whats the difference?

Why, UAE is under_attack that they need mercenaries to help defend itself.

I remember distinly persians commenting on this very same thread, were against Pakistan sending retired military soliders to Bahrain during the upset/turmoil and protest period couple years back. Even Irani foriegn ministry was threatening Pakistan.

Now the same hypocrites are recruting afghani and Pakistani shias and sending them to Syria to fight. Well how time changes and with time, their logic and justifications takes a complete 180 degree turn as well

Can you please tell me what the point you are trying to make with your statement because I see no connection to my post about the differences between the strategies of two administrators of Saudi Arabia in response to Yemen's political development with Iran's handling of internal oppositions.

Yemen Supposed Legitimate leader asked for Saudia help. No matter how you spin it. How is it different then Syria asking for Iran help or Iran suppressing internal democracy riots is different than Yemen disposed leader suppressing revolt of non state actors supposedly aided by Iran with help of third party ?

Iran is highly isolated in the world and probably doesn't know how modern militaries exchange officials to broaden their experience base. A foreign military official serving in a different nation is nothing new but it might have come to them as a surprise. As I understand, there are foreign military officials working in Pak military as well. It helps both militaries from learn from each other's experience, I believe.

Wait, now you are bringing Syria into it. What the hell are you talking about? Make your point clearly. What's wrong with some posters in this forum? What does my post about the foreign policy oo two different administrators of Saudi Arabia (King Abdulla and King Salman) and their approach to a particular neighboring country have to with Syria or Iran's handling of internal opposition?

Hadi him self asked for help ? as i can remember he resigned but order came from Saudi to move to Aden and later ran away to Saudi where he resides till now. BTW why Saudi-Led coalition specially Saudi and UAE are not fighting ISIS in Yemen handhramaut ?

ROFL an Iranian talking about mercenaries.

Here you can see a small sample of some of the low live foreign mercenaries hired by cowardly Persians to fight in their stead (like usual) Iranians are too scared of conflicts because they have bad experiences fighting Arabs (understatement)

 

[maxpayne]

Are our General not capable of training their forces? hey are best in world! Again stpd Arabs!!!

 

[BLACKEAGLE]

Iranians are looking for excuses for their brand new defeat in Yemen. What were you expecting?
