STC militias arrest Al-Alimi in Aden

ADEN, May 26 (YPA) – The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) militias arrested on Thursday a member of the Riyadh-formed Presidential Council in the city of Aden, while he was leaving, south of Yemen.

According to local news in the city, the “STC” militia at Aden airport arrested the member, Abdullah Al-Alimi, while he was leaving Aden airport on a Yemeni flight to Cairo airport, in addition to the arrest of other officials in the coalition-run government of Maeen Abdul-Malik.

The sources indicated that the militia forced Al-Alimi and the other officials to return to the Al-Ma’asheq Palace and put them under house arrest, until improving the service situation in the city of Aden, which is suffering a complete collapse in electricity, water, and health.

The STC seeks to exacerbate the situation in the city of Aden, and its refusal to integrate its militias into the framework of the council headed by Rashad Al-Alimi.

During the past few days, the STC militias had threatened to detonate the situation in the city of Aden.
