Yemens Southern Separatists Seize Control: A Potential Game ChangerThe Southern Transitional Council (STC), a separatist group in Yemen, has claimed control over the eastern provinces of Hadhramaut and Mahra, raising concerns about a potential resurgence of the countrys civil war. The STC, historically supported by the United Arab Emirates, has been part of the coalition fighting against the Houthi movement. However, their seizure of territory disrupts the fragile stability in Yemen, a strategically located country with crucial sea routes. The STC now holds much of Yemens oil reserves and production facilities, creating problems for the internationally backed government. The STCs immediate priority is fighting the Houthis, but their long-term aspiration is independence for all southerners. The internationally recognized government has seen its head and prime minister leave for Riyadh after the STCs takeover, highlighting the ongoing tensions and power struggles within the country.
