> Saudi Arabia is being urged to reconcile with the United Arab Emirates over Yemen so the two can help build a military alliance against the Houthis. Relations deteriorated after Saudi forces defeated the UAE-aligned Southern Transitional Council. The Houthis have since advanced toward Bab al-Mandab and are pressing an assault on Taiz.
