| [HODHODYEMENNEWS] Head of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) and member of the Riyadh-formed Presidential Council, Aidarous al-Zubaidi, has on Sunday ousted two ministers in the government loyal to the Saudi-led coalition. This coincides with the expansion of the protests in the southern and eastern areas 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... especially in Aden and Hadhramaut provinces. Southern media reported that al-Zubaidi issued a decision to suspend the Minister of Oil, Abdulsalam Abboud, the Minister of Electricity, Anwar Kalashat, and the director of the oil company from their duties. Al-Zubaidi had held a meeting with the government and demanded that it quickly complete service projects. The decision comes at a time when protests against the increase in fuel prices and continuous electricity cuts continue for the second week in a row. Earlier, the Presidential Council’s president, Rashad al-Alimi, admitted the coalition’s inability to fulfill its obligations in confronting the worsening situation in the southern areas. |
