The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council continues to escalate against the legitimate government, and recently threatened to expel the government from the temporary capital, Aden.
Informed sources said that the deputy head of the media department in the Transitional Council, Mansour Saleh, threatened to expel the government and form a new government unilaterally.
Saleh said that the council will resort to forming a new government that will manage the liberated areas in isolation from the legitimate government.
Saleh pointed out that the acceptance by the Southern Transitional Council of the government’s return to Aden came from his commitment to the terms of the Riyadh Agreement, under certain condition: the government should last at most thirty days, and to be replaced then by a new government, under the supervision of the coalition.
He added: “The Council dealt with the agreement with responsibility and credibility, but the government of the exile authority continued to use methods of lying and fraud to escape from its obligations in the deal”.
He said: “In light of what happened, the departure of this government from the land of the south has become urgent and not subject to delay.”
