ADEN, July 27 (YPA) – Former minister and senior figure in the dissolved Southern Transitional Council (STC), Mohammed Al-Zaouri Al-Subaihi, who is under house arrest in Riyadh, published an emotional social media post titled “Pain”, describing the hardship of forced confinement and longing to return to Aden.

Al-Zaouri, who previously served as Minister of Social Affairs and Labor in the Saudi-backed Aden government, said seven months had passed since his forced departure, expressing the suffering of prolonged detention and the desire to return home.

“Seven months have passed, each day counted in pain, hoping our homeland will once again open its arms to us,” he wrote, adding that memories of loved ones and home remain ever-present.
