Transitional Council refuses to hand over Maashiq Palace to Saudi forces

ADEN, Nov. 20 (YPA) – Adel al-Hassani, a leader in the so-called Southern Resistance said on Wednesday the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council’s militias refused to hand over the Presidential Palace of Maashiq in the city of Aden, southern Yemen, to Saudi forces.

Al-Hassani added that “the Transitional Council’s militias still control all Hadi’s forces camps and the state institutions, which indicates their rejection of the Riyadh agreement.”

Commander of the so-called first presidential protection brigade in Hadi’s forces Brigadier General Sanad Abdullah al-Rahwa returned to Aden on Monday in the task of reconstituting the brigade.
