Southern leaders at “Aden Dialogue” conference call for replacement of Al-Zubaidi

ADEN, May 07 (YPA) – Southern leaders demanded on Sunday the overthrow of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC)’s president, Aidaroos Al-Zubaidi.

This came during the Southern Dialogue Conference organized by the STC a few days ago in Aden, as it backfired on it, with the southern forces escalating their targeting of its president.

Media sources reported that a number of southern leaders explicitly demanded the replacement of Al-Zubaidi from the STC presidency, while others set conditions for joining the Council, provided that they included changes in the Presidency of the Council, including Al-Zubaidi.

The conference sessions on Saturday witnessed fights and disagreements over the introduction of Al-Zubaidi’s name and criticism of the STC in the speeches of the participants, while a number of them were expelled, including Hani Al-Yazidi, the former director of Al-Buraiqa district.
