Islah threatens STC with incinerators in southern province

ADEN, Aug. 29 (YPA) – The Islah Party has vowed to make the southern provinces “holocausts” for the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC), in response to ending its presence there.

Mukhtar al-Rahbi, a former media advisor to the military leader in the Islah party, Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, said: “The STC thinks that it will control and rule all the southern provinces, and this is an illusion.”

He added: “The south will be a fire that will devour anyone who tries to tamper with it and control it by force of arms, fire and external support.”

The statements of the media official carry a clear indication of the resumption of attritional attacks, which are usually attributed to Al-Qaeda, against the STC in the provinces of Aden, Shabwa and Abyan.
