STC recruits 300 children in Aden

ADEN, May 28 (YPA) –  The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) militias have recruited hundreds of children in Aden, southern Yemen, well-informed sources said on Friday.

The sources confirmed that the STC recruited 300 children taking advantage of the deteriorating living situation of the people in Aden and the rest of the southern provinces.

The recruitment of children exposes the intentions of the “STC” to go to an oncoming battle in Aden, after the failure of implementation of the so-called “Riyadh Agreement”, signed between the “STC” and “Hadi government”.

The STC’s child recruitment comes amid a military mobilization between the two parties in Abyan and Shabwah provinces.
