ab al-Mandab strait separates the Arabian Peninsula from the Horn of Africa and links the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean credit: UN SEMG<\/div>\n

Nov. 2, 2015 \u2013 The\u00a0United Arab Emirates has leased a key Eritrean port for 30 years and along with its Gulf ally, Saudi Arabia, has established a military presence in Eritrea in return for monetary compensation and fuel supplies.<\/p>\n

UN investigators have also received reports that 400 Eritrean troops are embedded with UAE forces battling Houthi rebels in Yemen.\u00a0If confirmed, this would violate Security Council sanctions imposed against Eritrea.<\/p>\n

The information is contained in the latest report of the Group of Experts monitoring sanctions against Somalia and Eritrea who state that the military arrangement between the Gulf coalition and Eritrea was likely established in March or April this year.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0report says the Gulf alliance\u2019s arrangement with Eritrea, which is located across the Red Sea from Yemen and at its narrowest point is located just 29 kilometers from Yemen, came about after Djibouti rebuffed an approach by Saudi and UAE to use its soil in their military campaign against Houthi expansion in Yemen.<\/p>\n

\"Saudi<\/a><\/p>\n

As part of the arrangement, Eritrea has allowed the Gulf alliance to use the Hanish islands and has leased the Port of Assab to the UAE for 30 years. The group of experts write that \u201cEritrea\u2019s making available to third countries its land, territorial waters and airspace to conduct military operations in another country does not in and of itself constitute a violation of resolution 1907 (2009)\u201d but \u201cany compensation diverted directly or indirectly towards activities that threaten peace and security in the region or for the benefit of the Eritrean military would constitute a violation of\u201d the resolution.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoreover, if the credible claims received by the Monitoring Group that Eritrean soldiers are indeed participating in the war effort under the leadership of the Arab coalition were confirmed, it would constitute a clear violation of resolution 1907 (2009),\u201d the report states.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia and the UAE are not the only two Gulf countries with a military presence\u00a0in Eritrea. Qatar has 200 troops located on the country\u2019s border with Djibouti. Doha is involved in mediating disputes between the two countries.<\/p>\n

For its part, the Government of Eritrea has called on the Security Council to lift the arms embargo against saying its strategic location makes it a target for extremists.<\/p>\n
