The fragile alliance in Yemen is on the brink of collapse. The separatist Southern Transitional Council (STC) has accused Saudi Arabia of bombing its forces stationed near the border, marking a sharp escalation in internal coalition tensions.
Southern Transitional Council Saudi Arabia Bombing Accusations and Escalation
According to reports from the region, the Southern Transitional Council claims that Saudi Arabia launched targeted air strikes against STC positions. While both entities have historically been part of the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthi rebels, this direct military confrontation highlights the growing friction over the control of southern Yemen.
Fractured Interests in the Yemen Conflict
The STC, backed by the United Arab Emirates, seeks independence for the south, a goal that often clashes with Saudi Arabia's support for the internationally recognized government. If these bombing claims are verified, it could derail ongoing peace negotiations and spark a 'war within a war' in the strategically vital Gulf of Aden region.
