24 Hours to Leave: Yemen’s PLC Orders Immediate UAE Military Withdrawal
Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council has ordered all UAE forces to leave within 24 hours. This sudden 2025 ultimatum could reshape Middle Eastern alliances.
The clock is ticking for UAE forces in Yemen. The Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) has issued a startling ultimatum, demanding all Emirati troops exit the country within 24 hours. Announced on December 30, 2025, this move signals a major collapse in the fragile alliance governing the conflict-ridden nation.
Yemen UAE Military Withdrawal 2025: A Sudden Deadline
According to official statements from the PLC, the mandate is absolute and immediate. While the UAE has historically been a key pillar of the Arab coalition against Houthi rebels, tensions have simmered over the Emirates' support for southern separatist movements.
Experts suggest the council is asserting its sovereignty as peace talks with other regional players evolve. The departure of UAE troops would mark the end of a decade-long military presence that has shaped the strategic landscape of southern Yemen.
Geopolitical Ripples in the Gulf
The ultimatum places Abu Dhabi in a difficult position. If the UAE complies by the December 31 deadline, it risks losing its strategic foothold in the Bab el-Mandeb strait. If it stays, it faces potential direct friction with the very government it helped sustain.
