US EditionYemen's Saudi-led coalition warns STC against moves in Hadramout
Saudi-led coalition vows immediate response to Southern Transitional Council's unilateral moves in eastern Yemen, aiming to protect civilians and restore local governance, coalition spokesman said.
- Yemen's internationally recognized government backed Saudi Arabia's effort to calm a new southern flare-up after the Southern Transitional Council advanced into Hadramout and Al-Mahrah.
- Amid long-running disputes over southern autonomy, the Southern Transitional Council formed in 2017 and seeks self-determination, but despite integrating into the Presidential Leadership Council in 2022, it continues pressing for southern sovereignty.
- Dispatching a joint Saudi-Emirati team, coalition mediators moved to Aden to oversee handovers, while Yemen's government warned Thursday that moves outside official chains are `unacceptable`.
- PLC Chairman Rashad Al-Alimi on Friday called on the Saudi-led coalition to take `necessary military measures` to protect civilians in Hadramout, while a government military official warned this could trigger new Saudi airstrikes and possible intervention if the STC remains.
- The escalation violates the transitional process and undermines Saudi-Emirati mediation efforts, threatening stability in oil-rich Hadramout and risking deeper instability in Yemen.
