During the Saudi-led coalition, backed by the US, campaign against Yemen ,many of the southern areas controlled by pro-coalition forces become a fertile environment for the terrorist groups to carry out their criminal activities, including narcotics.

An official document issued by the Royal Guard of Saudi Arabia revealed that the Kingdom is seeking to help those who have been dismissed from military service or who have had narctoics in their previous service or were dismissed for narctoics to return to military service in order to cover the large deficit of the Saudi army on the border fronts with Yemen after the heavy losses suffered by their forces in front of the Yemeni army forces.

Media outlets loyal to the coalition against on Yemen admitted that the province of Aden has become a major center for the narcotics trade, after the authorities of the UAE controlling the province.

In a statement to al-Mashhad al-Arabi website, citizens said they were surprised by the way in which the narcotics were brought to Aden, where they linked it a conflict between international and partisan forces targeting the southern provinces with narcotics.

Sources in the administration of the anti-narcotics agency in Aden revealed their inability to combat the narctoics trade in Aden and the cities of the south.

A security checkpoint seized a truck carrying tons of narctoics in Abyan province.The truck, which seized in Doves checkpoint, were coming from al-Mahrah province,according to a security official.

According to the official, the checkpoint thwarted several trucks were being carried of drugs and weapons that was covered with quantities of vegetables earlier.

Medical sources in Yemen’s Aden province warned against the use of unlicensed sexual stimulants known as the  Languos, which were recently promoted in the southern provinces.

Gunmen shot dead Aden’s anti-narcotics officer along with two of his bodyguards in Aden.The gunmen opened fire on the car and killed Colonel Fadl Saeail and his escorts in Mamdara area of Shiekh Ottman district.The gunmen fled the scene.

The southern journalist Ahmed al-Hassani said that the drug file in the province of Aden is managed by the UAE-Saudi alliance, adding that the narcotics arrive in large quantities from the outside to the city of Aden, despite the coalition’s siege and control of it.

He added this file is inseparable from the file of the security chaos and the economic crisis files ,run by the coalition, no Yemeni official is able to exceed the red lines, and when Brigadier Fadl began to activate the anti-narcotics scoring  , he became a goal for the UAE-Saudi alliance which killed him ,stressing “This is not a new fact whereas even and the coalition’s the loyalists and workers know and say.

Security services in Dhamar province on Monday seized Ton and 577 kg of the narcotics was loaded in a  long truck, The truck came from the southern province of Aden, run by UAE, the main part of the coalition,for the purpose of smuggling this shipment of drugs into Saudi Arabia, whereas the shipment consisted of 65 bags containing a ton and 577 kg of hashish, the official added.

Narcotics trafficking scandals are hunting Saudi officials, whether at the level of members of the ruling family or at the level of those close to the regime. In the latest scandals what the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported about the arrest of an Interior Ministry security officer after claiming that officials were running narcotics smuggling under the guise of performing Hajj.

It stated that  “Major Turki bin Hamza al-Rashidi, who worked in the Drug Control Division, said that a network of powerful people close to the regime have made billions of narcotics  smuggling to Saudi Arabia in different ways.”

In videos, Major Al-Rashidi reiterates his calls to King Salman to protect him, but on 9 May he carried a voice recording containing a message stating that he had been arrested. Also, one of the amateur videos indicated that he had been put in a car.

Italian police announced on Monday May 16, 2016 that Dubai airport has become a transit point for smugglers who transport expensive narcotics to the European continent

Italian police reported the arrest of smugglers in the at Rome’s Fiumicino airport after they arrived through Dubai, one of them a 19-year-old Slovak, carrying two kilograms of cocaine hidden in a secret place in one of his bags from Rio de Janeiro. The other Nigerian was carrying containers full of cocaine in his socks.The drug, which the detainees held in the market, is worth about half a million dollars (441,000 euros).

“The smugglers do not leave the transit hall at Dubai airport because this may expose them to customs inspection,” the police said in a statement. Instead, they use the flight from Dubai to Europe and use the UAE’s anti-narcotics laws to cover the country of origin they came from.

“This trick is aimed at making the smuggler a suspicious trip for police officers,” police said.

In March 2015, the US -backed –Saudi-led coalition started  a war against Yemen with the declared aim of crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement, who had taken over from the staunch Riyadh ally and fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, while also seeking to secure the Saudi border with its southern neighbor. Three years and over 600,000 dead and injured Yemeni people and  prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country, the war has yielded little to that effect.

Despite the coalition claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

More than 2,200 others have died of cholera, and the crisis has triggered what the United Nations has described as the world’s worst humanitarian disaster.

However, Saudi Arabia relies heavily on the US in its brutal war on Yemen. Washington has deployed a commando force on the Arab kingdom’s border with Yemen to help destroy arms belonging to Yemen’s popular Houthi Ansarullah movement. Washington has also provided logistical support and aerial refueling.
