The government loyal to the Saudi-led coalition is targeting one of the most vital economic sectors in Yemen, a sector that is crucial to unifying Yemeni identity.
Pro-coalition Media outlets reported that the General Telecommunications Corporation in Aden issued orders on Monday preventing any maintenance, modernization or development of the communications network of Yemen Mobile in Aden.
Observers said the purpose of this step is to strengthen the separation of the southern governorates from the Republic of Yemen by separating everything linking them to the northern governorates, including the telecommunications company “Yemen Mobil,” which is based in Sana’a.
The announcement by the pro-coalition government to prevent the maintenance of Yemen Mobile’s communications network comes amid vigorous moves by the factions calling for secession with the support of the United States. The US envoy to Yemen has already shown hints on more than one occasion that Washington does not mind the division of Yemen
