SANAA: Yemen’s
southern separatists broke a peace deal with the country’s internationally recognized government and claimed sole control of the regional capital of Aden, threatening to resume fighting between the two ostensible allies.
In a statement, the separatists’ Southern Transitional Council, which is backed by the United Arab Emirates, declared a state of emergency and said it would “selfgovern” the key southern port city and other southern provinces. The separatists accused Yemen’s government, which is supported by Saudi Arabia, of corruption and mismanagement.
The government dismissed the separatists’ move. Foreign Minister Mohammed Abdullah alHadrami called for Saudi Arabia to have a “clear position” and take “decisive measures against the continuing rebellion of the socalled Transitional Council.” (AP)
