UAE-backed separatists urge ‘uprising’ in Hadi-controlled areas
|
[PRESSTV] Separatists in southern Yemen, backed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have called for an uprising in the restive port city of Aden and other southern provinces, controlled by officials of the country’s former Saudi-allied government.
"We assure our people in all the southern provinces that we support a popular uprising which would end the suffering, and we insist that it be peaceful," the so-called Southern Transitional Council (STC) said in a statement on Wednesday.
The separatists want to revive the former South Yemen
 ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic...
republic which merged with the north in 1990.The port city of Aden, Yemen’s second largest city, used to be the capital of the once independent South Yemen.
The call for uprising could further put pressure on UN Special Envoy Martin Griffiths, who was expected in Abu Dhabi later on Wednesday to meet Emirati officials and the STC leader, Aidaroos al-Zubaidi.
The UAE has played a key role in a Saudi-led military campaign, which was launched in March 2015 with the aim of reinstalling the government of former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.
Yemen has no effective government for now, and the state affairs are now being run by Yemen’s Houthi
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth . Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ...
Ansarull movement, which is also defending the country against the Saudi war.
Prior to the offensive, Hadi had resigned and fled to Riyadh. The Saudi regime and its allies later managed to seize Aden from the Houthis and put it under the control of the ex-president’s officials.
Numerous Arab-language outlets have verified the collision between Saudi and Emirati interests there. Neither Abu Dhabi nor Riyadh has, however, attested to any division within the Saudi-led coalition.
The STC statement further called on "the people to control the government’s institutions that provide revenues," referring to the bodies controlled by the forces loyal to Hadi. It did not say whether this should include oilfields.
