Yemen’s internationally recognized government has claimed the recapture of southern and eastern parts of the country from the Southern Transitional Council (STC), as thousands of people rallied in the city of Aden in support of the secessionist group.
Rashad al-Alimi, chief of the Saudi Arabia-backed Presidential Leadership Council (PLC), said on Saturday that two key regions had been retaken and that government forces have assumed full control of southern Yemen.
He added that the Yemeni government has invited former members of the STC to Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh, for discussions on the country’s future and that all military forces in Yemen will now operate under the command of the Saudi-led coalition in the country.
Al-Alimi’s announcement came after a successful Saudi-backed offensive to drive the STC out of the Hadramout and al-Mahra provinces, which it had seized towards the end of last year.
