The Saudi-led coalition engaged in Yemen on Monday urged a leading separatist group that declared self-rule in the south to rescind its move. The decision of the separatist Southern Transitional Council’s threatens to renew conflict between the STC and the Saudi-backed government, nominal allies under the coalition that I fighting the Houthis, as the UN tries to secure a permanent nationwide ceasefire over the coronavirus pandemic.
Yemen’s internationally recognized government warned of “catastrophic consequences” after the STC on Sunday declared emergency rule in southern governorates including Aden, interim seat of the government that was ousted from power in the capital, Sanaa, by the Houthi group in late 2014.
The United Arab Emirates, which shares the STC’s distrust of an Islamist party in the government, is against the council’s unilateral move, the minister of state for foreign affairs, Anwar Gargash, said on Monday.
The Saudi-led coalition earlier this month announced a unilateral truce and then prolonged it. The Houthis have not accepted it.
