A former minister in the Saudi-backed exiled Hadi government said that Saudi Arabia has started working on its plan to divide Yemen through the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council, under the cover of its presence in the Riyadh Presidential Council.
“Saudi Arabia, having turned against Hadi and established an unconstitutional presidential council of militia leaders, and through the statements of its ambassador Mohammed al-Jaber has officially also abandoned commitment to stand with the unity of Yemen,” former minister al-Jabwani said in a tweet.
“Al-Jaber’s statements that secession is a Yemeni option reflects Saudi Arabia’s new policy,” he added. “This is a green light to start the partition scheme.”
