Following the trip of Aidarus al-Zoubaidi, head of the Southern Transition Council to UAE, the council decided to declare independency in southern provinces and state of emergency.
FM of resigned administration of Yemen (Hadi government) opposing this decision called this act of Southerners a withdraw from Riyadh agreement and demanded Saudi Arabia firm stance.
In previous hours, governors of Shabwah, Abyan, Mahra, Hadhramout and Socotra objected the STC’s decision.
