ambit in the question is saudi arabia saudi arabia is being isolated recently as it seems like as if everybody's leaving solitary be everybody is just jumping off place on a sinking boat and so the last thing that the saudis want to see is that the united arab emirates pull out from yemen from the coalition and light a kind of probably grudgingly agri with damer at the position and i think in this situation the united arab emirates is actually blackmailing the saudis and the saudis need them more than anything else so this is the problem here the problem is not as. this is you know the proteas misunderstand is that there's a kind of concerted agreement between a kind of a property of the saudis and the united arab emirates i think it's deeper than that they've actually affect the division within the same conversation the saudi did coalition is collapsing in a way or another and the only way for the saudis to keep it at least the appearance of a coalition is to go along with the united arab emirates. from a kid didn't move in yemen but you heard what the missile hightest said basicall
