(C) Post confirms that the third party HUMVEES transfer from
UAE to Yemen is off. Crown Prince/UAE Armed Forces Deputy
Supreme Commander's Director of International Affairs Yousef
Al Otaiba communicated this position to Embassy on March 18.
In subsequent urging by Ambassador, Otaiba stressed on March
21 that although the UAE very much wanted to help Yemen, it
viewed the third party transfer process, even if expedited,
as too protracted for the kind of "urgent 24-hour assistance"
UAE had in mind. He emphasized that the UAEG is seeking to
help the Yemenis "in other ways," but provided no further
information.
