introduction:
The Southern Transitional Council has tightened its control over the city of Aden, after days of fighting with the forces of the internationally recognized government. This is not the first time that clashes and clashes have occurred between the forces of the Southern Transitional Council and the government forces. The Southern Transitional Council previously took control of Aden on January 28, 2018. A week after the start of the events, the Southern Transitional Council announced its commitment to a cease-fire and to participate in a dialogue called for by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, through the official spokesman of the coalition, who called for an immediate cease-fire in Aden, and confirmed that the coalition would use military force against those who violated it. that. All these events explain to us that the overall steps taken by the Transitional Council were in coordination with the "Houthi militias", "Al-Qaeda" and "ISIS", and this coordination came as a result of an intelligence effort undertaken by the UAE, so the assassination of the leader in the security belt "Abu Al-Yamamah", which was adopted by the militias Al-Houthi, and the terrorist operation that was carried out against a security center in "Sheikh Othman", which was claimed by ISIS.
1 / The latest developments in Shabwa Governorate:
The government forces tightened their full control over the city of "Ataq", the capital of Shabwa Governorate, in southeastern Yemen, and all the roads leading to it, and took control of three camps in which the UAE-backed "Shabwani Elite" forces were stationed. It also took control of a camp of the UAE-backed Security Belt forces in the "Qarn Al-Kalasi" area, located between the cities of Shuqra and Zanzibar, without resistance. Through the recent developments in Shabwa Governorate, it appears that Saudi Arabia has given the green light to legitimacy by exposing the UAE's practices, provided support to the Yemeni army on the ground, and imposed its conditions on the UAE in return for preserving its prestige and face before the world.
Shabwa governorate is of great importance, as it is about 474 km away from the capital, Sana'a. It is bordered by Hadramout governorate to the east, the Arabian Sea to the south, Ma'rib governorate to the north, and Abyan and Al-Bayda governorates to the west. The province is also an important center for the export of oil and liquefied gas.
A / the position of the legitimate government
At the beginning, the Yemeni presidency was unable to convince the Saudi side to move to stop the coup moves of the Transitional Council due to the strong Emirati pressure on Saudi Arabia, the biased international position and its apprehension of terrorist groups, as well as the assurances that the Kingdom received from all these parties. Nevertheless, many observers believe that the silence of the presidency in the media and its failure to take strong decisions towards the transitional council and its supporters, and its submission to political calculations in the kingdom, was a strategic mistake that resulted in the coup against it. More than a week after these events, the Yemeni government held the UAE fully responsible for the coup of the Transitional Council seeking to separate southern Yemen from its north, and demanded that it stop all forms of support and funding for the militias. In a statement, the government affirmed, following an extraordinary meeting it held in Riyadh headed by Prime Minister Maeen Abdul-Malik, that it "will confront the armed rebellion in Aden by all means authorized by the constitution and the law, and that the UAE-backed armed rebellion has resulted in the undermining of state institutions and the tearing of the social fabric." The Yemeni government appreciated Saudi Arabia's efforts and called on it to support the legitimate plans to end the rebellion. It also called on the international community and its institutions to carry out their responsibilities in supporting the legitimacy and territorial integrity of Yemen. The Presidency of the Yemeni Parliament also called on President Hadi to take all appropriate decisions to bring down the rebellion and uphold the supremacy of the constitution. The Presidency of Parliament affirmed that "any indolence, complacency or silence by any of the coalition countries regarding the recent events constitutes a tributary to the militias' continued wrongdoing, and that what the UAE-backed Transitional Council militias have done is returning Yemen to the cycle of conflicts and bloodbaths."
B / Emirates position
The UAE, through its mission to the United Nations, denied its support for the coup, which was completed in Aden on the tenth of this month, and later expanded to include areas in the neighboring Abyan governorate. The UAE affirmed its total rejection of what it described as allegations and allegations directed at it about the developments in Aden, and that "the UAE was part of the joint team with Saudi Arabia that sought to preserve national institutions in Aden."
C / Saudi Arabia's position:
After the end of the events in Aden, a shift appeared in the Saudi position, which issued warnings to the Transitional Council and targeted two of its military sites, and it also received King Salman and the Crown Prince
