According to local reports, the UN envoy is expected to meet with Hadi Prime Minister Moeen Abdul Malik and the leaders of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) before moving to Sana’a to meet with officials in the national salvation government

The city of Aden, which is under the control of the UAE-backed militias has been witnessing fierce infighting between the factions loyal to coalition, and protests against the deteriorating living conditions.

The southern provinces suffer from an unprecedented collapse of local currency against, with a single dollar reaching up to 1192 riyals in value, as a result of the policies of aggression and their mercenaries who have continued to print banknotes without cash cover.
