Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
Yemen’s Southern Transitional Council (STC) claims control over all eight southern governorates and seeks to partner with the United States against Iran-backed Houthis, al Qaeda affiliates, and Muslim Brotherhood factions. The STC, backed by Emirati support and aiming to restore an independent South Yemen, has recently expanded into eastern governorates despite calls from Yemen’s internationally recognized government to withdraw. STC representative Ahmed Atef expressed hopes for increased U.S. military, diplomatic, and economic cooperation, including development of southern Yemen’s oil and other industries. The STC positions itself as a natural U.S. partner in counterterrorism and regional stability, while rejecting prospects for negotiated settlement with the Houthis, whom they accuse of destabilizing actions inside and beyond Yemen.

Scripture: Psalm 2:1-3
"Why are the nations in an uproar, And the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand, And the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed: "Let us tear their fetters apart, And cast away their cords from us!""
Commentary:
Rival factions and shifting alliances now vie for control across Yemen, where the Southern Transitional Council asserts its power and seeks foreign partnership. Most people just want some stability to raise their children and go about daily life. Yet, as leaderships form alliances and reject compromise, we see a familiar biblical pattern: governments and movements seeking their own security apart from God’s rule. Such instability echoes the Scriptures’ portrayal of global unrest that will surface before the Lord’s final reign is revealed.
Prophetic Trend:
Rising regional alliances and rejections of settlement reveal deepening unrest that mirrors the patterns of end-time volatility described in Scripture.
