Southern Yemeni Separatists Dismiss Saudi Call to Withdraw From Eastern Provinces
Share
Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
Yemen's main southern separatist group, the Southern Transitional Council (STC), rejected Saudi Arabia's call to withdraw from the eastern provinces of Hadramout and Mahra, where it seized control earlier in December. The STC stated its military presence aims to combat security threats, including disrupting supplies to Iran-backed Houthi forces controlling northern Yemen. Saudi Arabia remains hopeful for de-escalation and has sent a joint Saudi-Emirati military delegation to negotiate STC's return to previous positions outside the two provinces. Clashes in Hadramout recently resulted in two STC casualties, followed by Saudi airstrikes, which the STC said would not deter their objectives; Saudi Arabia has not confirmed the strikes, and the United Arab Emirates supports Saudi efforts to stabilize Yemen.

Saudi Arabia said on Thursday it remains hopeful the Southern Transitional Council (STC) will end an escalation and withdraw its forces from the provinces, after the group claimed broad control of the south and pushed the Saudi-backed, internationally recognized government from its headquarters in Aden. The group said in a statement posted on its account on X that its military operations in the two provinces were to combat security threats, including cutting supplies to the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists who control the north of the country.
