Southern military expert attacks STC

ADEN, Feb. 22 (YPA) – The southern military expert Khaled al-Nassi on Saturday published a scathing attack on the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC), describing it as “a follower who has no decision.”

Al-Nassi said in a series of tweets on his Twitter account that “the system demanding the secession lacks the real decision,” in reference to the transitional council.

The southern expert confirmed that the UAE has contributed to the collapse of the situation in the southern provinces, making the city of Aden besieged by Islah Party’s militants.

The so-called “Riyadh Agreement”, signed between Hadi’s government and the STC, on the fifth of November 2019, failed by all standards, al-Nassi added.

He explained that the Islah Party has benefited from the Riyadh agreement through expanding its military presence, which has reached the borders of Aden city.

Al-Nassi called on the people of the southern provinces to take a firm and strong stance, before remorse, he said.
