The intra-Arab leg of the Yemen story, dominated by Saudi-Egyptian state press (Al-Ahram, Al Arabiya). Narrative split is NOT the Iran-axis split — it's Saudi-coalition legitimacy framing vs. pan-Arab critique of southern fragmentation and STC dissolution. The 2026 STC self-dissolution and the separatist leader's flight to the UAE (with Saudi accusations against Abu Dhabi) opens a thin but real Gulf-bloc fissure.

Other specific conflicts under the same umbrella conflict zone.
Saudi, Egyptian, and pan-Arab Sunni framing: the Saudi-led coalition is restoring the internationally-recognised Yemeni government; Houthi rule in Sanaa is an Iran-backed coup; STC self-dissolution and southern unification under the Presidential Leadership Council are necessary; UAE-backed separatism was a destabilising mistake. The vocabulary: "legitimate Yemeni government", "Presidential Leadership Council", "Iran-backed coup", "southern unification", "STC mistake", "Saudi reconstruction". Prescription: continued coalition military pressure on Houthi forces, southern political consolidation under the PLC, Saudi-funded reconstruction.
Resistance-axis and critical pan-Arab framing: the de facto Sanaa authority represents Yemeni national resistance to Saudi and Western intervention; the Saudi-led coalition is an aggressor that has destroyed Yemeni infrastructure; the STC was a UAE-backed colonial project whose collapse exposes coalition failure. The vocabulary: "Sanaa authority", "national resistance", "Saudi aggression", "coalition aggression", "STC colonial project", "coalition failure". Prescription: international acceptance of de facto Sanaa governance, end of coalition strikes, withdrawal of foreign forces.
