Emirati government warned Houthi militias and other militias of Yemen’s former President Ali Abdullah Saleh of the repercussion of Mokha liberation. Emirati Minister of Foreign Affairs Anwar Qaraqash said that Mokha liberation left negative effects on the insurgents, mocking of what he described as “the lie of the militants’ withdrawal.”
He stressed that the coming steps will be more painful. The statements came after liberation of Yemeni city of Mokha in a military operation led by Emirates.
