The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) has on Tuesday continued to raise separatist flags on government facilities in Aden city, in defiance of the Saudi occupation forces.
Local sources reported that the leaders of the STC in Aden completed raising a separatist South Yemeni flag at the intersections and roundabouts of Aden, after obliging the residents to raise it on the roofs of their own houses in most of the city’s districts, especially those located on the main streets.
The sources said the campaign of raising separatist flags reached the road leading to the Ma’ashiq Palace, where the Riyadh-backed Presidential Council and the government loyal to the coalition reside.
The campaign organisers confirmed their intention to raise the flag over the Ma’ashiq Palace itself, in clear defiance of Saudi Arabia and as the latest showcase of a growing rift between the plans of Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
