Abdul Rahman al-Wali, Speaker of the so-called Parliament of South said in a tweet, that the “Riyadh agreement”, did not bring anything new, adding that “STC” and Islah, rallying their armed to the Abyan front.

“What is going on in the southern provinces is “thug” and that none of the concerned parties care about it, pointing out that “the situation is still getting worst “, he said.
