UAE-backed separatists reinforce troops in Aden
[HODHODYEMENNEWS] The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC)’s militia of pushed on Saturday military reinforcements to the city of Aden, south of 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...

In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an Islamic Emirate after seizing control of the region.
