STC threats Saudi-led coalition: You will pay a heavy price

ADEN, Jul. 26 (YPA) – The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) on Tuesday vowed the Saudi-led coalition and Riyadh-formed presidential council to make them pay a heavy price for starving its forces and suspending their salaries for six months.

“The fact that the southern forces remain unpaid for many months is no longer acceptable,” Aden Independent Channel TV reported, citing the STC’s statement

The government and the council are the ones responsible for paying the salaries of these forces and securing their needs, and they are the same ones who played with fire with recklessness and deliberateness, the statement read.

The STC threatened the coalition, council and government by saying that “there is no room to wait, not even to maneuver in the face of trying to starve, kneel, punish, stop and undermine their salaries, and all options are open at the heart of the scene and the table and the response will be strong and they will pay a heavy price.”
