The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council STC dismissed its office chief in the Socotra Archipelago after government forces recaptured the Special Forces camp, which was controlled by the transitional rebel elements since last February.
Local sources said that the head of STC, Aidroos Al-Zubaidi, assigned (Nazem Mubarak Ali Bin Qablan) with the duties of the head of the council in Socotra governorate, Yahya Mubarak Saeed, to rearrange the position of the local leadership of the council in the governorate.
The decision comes one day after the government forces in Socotra recaptured the special forces camp from the militias of the UAE-backed STC.
