Southern Transitional Council push for South Yemen statehood

Overview

Aidarus al-Zoubaidi, leader of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC), has intensified demands for the political recognition of an independent South Yemen. In recent televised statements, al-Zoubaidi adopted a conciliatory tone toward Saudi Arabia by condemning Houthi attacks against the Kingdom, while positioning the STC as a vital military partner whose battlefield contributions against Houthi militias should grant them political leverage.

Marking the 63rd anniversary of the October 14 Revolution, al-Zoubaidi delivered a speech outlining a roadmap for full independence and state-building. He called for unity and strong support for Southern military and security institutions, which he described as the “primary shield against external threats,” to counter internal divisions and perceived conspiracies targeting the region's stability.
