UAE-backed STC pays salaries of its loyalists in US dollars

ADEN, June 09 (YPA) – The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) has approved sums of money in US dollars in exchange for appointments and buying loyalties since the beginning of June.

The STC’s President, Aidaroos Al-Zubaidi, directed financial affairs to allocate an amount of $1,000 per month to the heads of the committees of the council advisors, an amount of $500 per month to the deputy heads of the committees, and an amount of $300 per month to 51 chairmen, deputies, and members.

This comes amid deteriorating living conditions, poor electricity services, and rising prices due to the collapse of the Yemeni riyal against the dollar.
