Southern Yemeni separatists launch coup attempt at Saudi-backed puppet government in Aden

Separatist organisation Southern Transitional Council (STC) has announced on Wednesday the start of a de facto coup against the Saudi-led puppet government in the city of Aden.

In its meeting, the General Secretariat of the STC called for the formation of a so-called “government of competencies that contribute to improving the economic and service situation,” indicating that the government headed by Moeen Abdul-Malik Saeed is waging “an economic and service war on citizens.”

The STC secretariat rejected any return of the pro-coalition government to Aden, accusing it of carrying out crimes against the people of the southern Yemeni provinces.
