Al-Zubaidi reveals objective of US Forces’ presence in Yemen

ADEN, Jan. 23 (YPA) -In an interview with Sky News Arabia, Aidarous al-Zubaidi, the president of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC), launched a sharp attack on the leaders of the Islah Party, accusing them of having an inherent connection to terrorism, despite his partnership with them in the “Presidential Leadership Council.”

Al-Zubaidi revealed that US forces are present in Yemen as part of an international coalition with Britain, as well as other Saudi-led coalition countries and their armed factions, aiming to “implement the Syrian scenario” in Yemen.

This, he said, was to eliminate what he referred to as the “Houthis” and end their military operations in the Red Sea.

He also emphasized that all members of the “Presidential Leadership Council” agree with the “terrorist leaders” of the Islah Party (the Muslim Brotherhood) in their fight against Sana’a forces.

He added that they are waiting for former US President Donald Trump to designate “Ansarullah” in Sanaa as a “terrorist organization” due to their naval operations supporting Palestinian resistance in Gaza.

Al-Zubaidi mentioned that the “Presidential Leadership Council” represents a unified body in Yemen’s legitimacy, but he contradicted himself by stating that each member of the Council has different political agendas, with each person backed by their own project.

He hinted that he had received promises to revert Yemen’s map to its pre-unification state of May 1990, but only after the “destruction of the Houthis” in Sanaa.
