Al Jazeera English Yemen’s Saudi-backed presidential council says UAE forces must leave within 24 hours

The head of Yemen’s presidential council, supported by Saudi Arabia, says Emirati backed forces in the country should leave within 24 hours.
That follows a Saudi air strike on the port of Mukalla in Yemen, carried out after two ships arrived carrying weapons destined for southern separatist forces.
Mukalla is in Yemen’s Hadramout province, that was recently seized by the separatist Southern Transitional Council.
Saudi state media say the ships came from the port of Fujairah in the UAE.
Saudi officials say they arrived late last week without official permits and had disabled their tracking systems.
The air strike did not hit either ship and there were no reports of injuries.

Khaled Batarfi is a political analyst, and he says it’s unclear how realistic the 24-hour deadline is for Emirati-backed separatist forces to withdraw from Yemen.
