Sanaa comments on coalition’s dismantling of STC

SANAA, Dec. 04 (YPA) – A senior official in Ansarullah has commented on the Saudi-led coalition’s move to dismantle the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council and  replace it with Tariq Saleh’s forces in Yemen’s southern port city of Aden.

Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a member of the political bureau of Ansarullah, said in a post on Twitter: “Despite all what the STC has offered to the countries of aggression, this did not intercede for it  when it became in their interest to dismantle it in favor of Tariq Affash under the so-called joint forces and in favor of Basheer al-Mudharbi under the so-called “Shield of the Homeland” Forces and absorbing the rest of his forces other than the sons of Dhalea under the pretext of merging the forces and buying many of its leaders.”

It is noteworthy that Saudi Arabia handed over early last month, Tariq Saleh’s forces Al-Ma’ashiq Palace and strategic facilities in Aden, after the STC forces were forced to evacuate them and leave for their camps.
