💨 Abstract

The UAE withdrew its troops from Yemen and the island of Socotra, leaving around 600 tourists stranded. The move follows a rift with Saudi Arabia, with both countries now backing opposing groups in Yemen's civil war. Socotra, known for its unique flora and beaches, had become a tourist destination under UAE control. The island's airport is now closed, and tourists face uncertainty and potential financial strain.
