ADEN, Oct. 31 (YPA) – The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) described on Wednesday the economic situation in Aden and other Yemen’s southern provinces as “difficult.”

The head of the so-called “National Assembly” and acting head of the STC, Ali Al-Kathiri, confirmed that the economic situation has resulted in exorbitant prices and a decline in the standard of living of citizens in the areas controlled by the government loyal to the Saudi-led coalition.

Al-Kathiri called on the pro-coalition government to assume its responsibilities in ensuring the arrival of financial revenues from the provinces to the Central Bank in Aden and to work on following up on their collection as an essential part that would contribute to solving the current economic crisis, as he described it.

He appealed to the coalition and the countries of the world to intervene urgently to help the citizens of Aden and the rest of the southern provinces confront the crises that are afflicting them.
