Meanwhile, on the political front, the leader of the Southern Transitional Council announced the start of a roadmap for the independence of “South Arabia,” which would culminate on January 2, 2028. Despite these statements, on January 3, YNA forces entered the rest of the governorates of Hadramaut and Mahrah following the massive withdrawal of STC forces to the governorate of Abyan, managing to reverse the South Yemeni gains of a month ago in what appears to be a resounding victory for Saudi Arabia over the UAE in Yemen.

Another example of UAE soft power in southwestern Yemen has emerged through the Southern Transitional Council المجلس الانتقالي الجنوبي. Supporters of the UAE-backed STC circulated footage from Al-Dhale’-Lahij governorate(s) showing what they claim are National Shield Forces قوات درع الوطن deployed near al-Anad air base preventing them from entering Aden to attend a rally called by the ousted STC leader عيدروس الزُبيدي - Aidaros Alzubidi. Last week, several senior members of the STC based in Riyadh announced the dissolution of the STC. However, factions operating in Aden, Mukalla, Socotra, Abu Dhabi, and abroad have rejected that announcement and continue to operate under the STC banner. While the STC enjoys visible support in Al-Dhale’ governorate, it faces staunch popular opposition in the central and eastern southern governorates. Al-Zubaidi has been formally accused by the internationally recognized Yemeni government of leading a rebellion and committing acts of treason, underscoring the contested legitimacy surrounding UAE-backed political actors in South Yemen.

Saudi warplanes carried out a wave of strikes in southern Yemen on yesterday, after UAE backed Southern Transitional Council leader Aidarous al Zubaidi ignored a Riyadh ultimatum and refused to attend emergency talks, according to regional and international reports. The strikes hit positions in al Dhalea linked to the Southern Transitional Council, marking a sharp escalation in tensions between Saudi Arabia and the UAE backed faction it had previously treated as a partner. Hospital and medical sources said 4 people were killed, all civilians, with 14 others wounded. The Guardian cited an STC official as saying 2 people were killed and 14 injured near al Zubaidi’s home village. Separately, pro STC accounts citing Yemeni sources claim detainees from prisons in Hadhramaut were freed or relocated by Saudi backed forces. Those reports said operations prioritized territorial control, potentially at the expense of civilian safety, but the claims remain unconfirmed.

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia is running out of time in Yemen Malcolm Nance thinks Saudi Arabia is approaching a decision it can no longer avoid. Either it goes back into Yemen in force, or it accepts that Ansar Allah may soon control the country and, with it, Saudi Arabia’s western oil route. Taiz is what makes this urgent. Malcolm says Ansar Allah’s advance threatens to encircle the remaining Saudi-backed forces there. If they collapse, he expects tribes aligned with the PLC to begin cutting deals with the Houthis simply to survive. “If the Saudis don't act very soon and very quickly, the Houthis will control all of Yemen.” And once that happens, he thinks the strategic problem becomes vastly harder to reverse. Saudi Arabia already faces Iranian pressure on the Persian Gulf side of its energy exports. A Houthi-controlled Yemen would give an Iranian-aligned force enormous leverage over the other route through Bab el-Mandeb. For Nance, that transforms Yemen from a neighboring civil war into a threat to the economic independence of the Saudi state. “The nation state of Saudi Arabia now cannot have a national export of its national resources without kissing the Ring of Iran and the Houthis.” Saudi Arabia would have to stop treating this as another air campaign and mobilize for a real ground war, potentially bringing in Egyptian forces and outside advisers while committing its own armor and troops deep into Yemen. The Saudis and Emiratis already tried war there once and failed. But Nance thinks the alternative is now worse. “This is an existential crisis for the economy of Saudi Arabia. Existential.” Because if Ansar Allah consolidates Yemen, Riyadh may discover that losing the war was only the beginning. It could lose control over how its own oil reaches the world. Malcolm Nance

🇾🇪 BBC News was invited by Yemen’s Saudi-backed government to visit the secret detention facilities run by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and its allies on UAE’s former military bases in southern Yemen. The access marks the first time journalists have entered the sites, and it comes after the UAE’s withdrawal from Yemen amid a widening rift between Abu Dhabi and Riyadh. A Yemeni official claimed: “We weren’t able to access locations under UAE control until now. When we liberated it, we discovered these prisons.” President of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council Rashad al-Alimi has since ordered the closure of all “illegal” prisons in the south.

Tens of thousands of Southerners are flooding the streets of Radafan today, sending a clear message to Riyadh, Sana’a, and the wider region: the Southern cause is very much alive. Amid Saudi‑sponsored talks and attempts to dilute or even dissolve the Southern Transitional Council (STC), protesters are rejecting any measures seen as undermining their leadership and their demand for a fully sovereign South.

We didn’t come to Washington asking for handouts. We came with a strategy and a vision. As proud South Yemeni Americans, we made the case for a direct and strategic partnership—rooted in shared interests, mutual security, and regional stability. The reality on the ground speaks for itself: The Southern Transitional Council (STC) stands as the only organized and capable force with legitimacy, structure, and a proven track record—resisting Houthi expansion, countering terrorism, and securing vital global waterways. In a region full of uncertainty, actions speak louder than any theory. The frontlines of Yemen today lie along the pre-1990 North/South borders—because the South never stopped defending its identity, and its strive for independence. Our message to Congress was clear and deliberate: Don’t overlook your most natural and capable partner in Yemen—and perhaps the region at large—the people of the South. What left the greatest impression was the sincere and constructive engagement we received from both chambers of Congress. There is a growing bipartisan recognition that the South presents a rare and timely opportunity—anchored in shared interests across national security, foreign policy, and humanitarian outreach. In a region as volatile as the Middle East—especially with mounting tensions between Iran and Israel—such opportunities must not be overlooked. This wasn’t merely an advocacy event. It was the beginning of a strategic era. And it won’t be the last. #SouthYemen
