Summary:
Yemen’s Saudi-backed Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) announced on January 7 that it removed separatist leader Aidarous al-Zubaidi from its membership and referred him to the public prosecutor on charges including high treason after he failed to attend Saudi-brokered talks in Riyadh. The council also dismissed Transport Minister Abdul Salam Hamid and Planning and International Cooperation Minister Waed Badhib to stabilize the situation and protect state authority. These actions underscored growing divisions within Yemen’s anti-Houthi alliance, where Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have supported rival forces. Additionally, a spokesman for the Saudi-led military coalition said it conducted preemptive strikes following Zubaidi’s mobilization of armed units.

Scripture: James 3:16
"For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing."
Commentary:
Leadership purges and rivalries inside Yemen’s anti-Houthi coalition are producing unrest and instability.
