ABU DHABI, June 16, (APP): Yemen War: UAE says war over for its troops in Yemen
The United Arab Emirates has said war is over for its troops in Yemen after a nearly 15-month intervention as part of a coalition in which around 80 lost their lives.
"Our standpoint today is clear -- war is over for our troops, we're monitoring political arrangements (and) empowering Yemenis in liberated areas," state minister for foreign affairs Anwar Gargash said.
His comments came in a speech late on Wednesday to foreign ambassadors and senior Emirati officials, including Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan.
