Strains in Yemen’s rebel camp have broken out into the open, straining an alliance that has fended off a Saudi-led coalition’s attempt to seize control of the war-ravaged country.
Shiite Houthi rebels have accused former Yemen President Ali Abdullah Saleh, whose loyalists joined forces with them, of holding secret talks with the United Arab Emirates, a close Saudi ally and member of the coalition. The Houthis say Saleh -- who denies the charge -- crossed “red lines” and denounced his description of them as a militia, a term the Saudis use to challenge their legitimacy.
