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.

The Violations of the Shaykhs of Aden Whom are defended by Arafat Al-Muhammadi (With chronological events and video and photo evidence sufficient for every fair-minded person and methodologically sound Salafi) The following video presents documented audio, video and photographic evidence showing that the Shaykhs of Aden who are defended by Arafat al-Muhammadi after the following actions, supported the separatist Southern Transitional Council (STC) against Yemen’s legitimate president, Rashād al-ʿAlīmī. After the STC advanced into Ḥaḍramawt in December 2025 despite warnings from President al-ʿAlīmī and Saudi Arabia, the videos show six named Aden shaykhs urging cooperation with STC armed forces, praying for them, and celebrating their victories during their rebellion, unlike Shaykh ʿAlī al-Ḥudhayfī, who refrained due to it being taking part in rebellion against the legitimate ruler and against the directives of Saudi Arabia. The evidence further shows that when Shaykh ʿAbdullāh al-Bukharī issued a fatwa affirming obedience to President al-ʿAlīmī as obligatory, the Aden shaykhs failed to collectively publish or endorse it, using their centralized media channels called “the Aden Shaykhs” that is recognized by the STC and the common people of Aden alike to post the collective positions of all of them. After Saudi airstrikes on the STC, STC rebel leader Aidarus al-Zubaidi announced a separatist constitutional declaration (2 Jan 2026), and subsequently Salah Kantūsh is shown calling him the rebel leader “one of the major rulers.” Watch the video for more details. Today after the rebellion failed the Shaykhs of Aden lie and claim that they were always with legitimacy and never with the STC, while the video and audio evidence shown disproves that. Hence, if a raging blind follower comes to you showing the Shaykhs of Aden today affirming the legitimacy of President Rashād al-ʿAlīmī and renouncing the STC without repenting from what we have shown above with video and photo evidence, then it is clear that they are simply trying to save face since the rebellion they supported failed thanks to the Kingdom of Tawḥīd, Saudi Arabia. May Allah preserve it. Shaykh Rabee Al-Madkhali (رحمه الله) said regarding Yemen, “Be with the coalition, be with Saudi Arabia.” From the video below, it’s as clear as the sun in the sky for one who’d like to recognize it that the Shaykhs of Aden and their defender, Arafat Al-Muhammadi, violated this fatwa because they abandoned obedience to their ruler during rebellion, they were not with the coalition, and they were not with Saudi Arabia. Before viewing this video, I advise every person to first read or re-read the article below regarding blameworthy politics and legislated politics by our Shaykh Dr. Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq, may Allah preserve him, as it gives a valuable backdrop and insight on the issue and helps one properly understand the transgressions that have been operated by these people.

🔴 #Breaking: Abu Dhabi 🇦🇪 has orchestrated its first major terror operation in Yemen 🇾🇪 since its withdrawal. Yemeni security forces in Aden said a failed assassination attempt targeted Hamdi Shukri, a senior Giants Brigades commander. A car bomb hit the convoy of the Second Giants Brigade commander in Jaoula, north of Aden, killing two and injuring five. This follows a familiar pattern. Abu Dhabi and its fugitive agent Aidarous Al Zubaidi were previously implicated in the 2015 assassination of former Aden governor Major General Jaafar Saad, who opposed Abu Dhabi’s plans to control Aden, an attack the UAE later blamed on ISIS.

The STC has deployed additional forces to Al-Mahra in eastern #Yemen, with a new brigade arriving in the governorate late tonight. The move runs counter to requests by Saudi Arabia and PLC Chairman Rashad al-Alimi for the STC to withdraw its forces from both Mahrah & #Hadramout.

Eastern #Yemen | UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council المجلس الانتقالي الجنوبي (STC) forces have reached Al-Ghayda in Al-Mahra after several days of negotiations with the National Shield Forces (NSF). One of the commanders of this unit is Brigadier General Fadhl Ba Besh, a former Special Security Forces officer from Abyan under عبدربه منصور هادي. He now leads one of the STC’s special forces units in Aden. Meanwhile, the Saudi-backed NSF continues to move large troop formations from Lahij, Aden, and the Wad’iah border crossing toward Hadramawt’s Wadi and Desert Districts. What is clear is that STC checkpoints on the N4 and N5 have not attempted to block or slow this NSF mobilization. The opposite is also true: NSF checkpoints are allowing STC forces to pass. In addition, some, though not all-NSF units are seen carrying the former South Yemen flag, which is also used by the STC. Altogether, it’s becoming clear that the NSF and STC are coordinating closely to avoid direct confrontations or clashes. Will this passive coordination hold? Time will tell.

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.

Another embarrasing day for the Saudis following a massive turnout in Aden today for supporters of the STC and its leader Aidrous Alzubaidi demanding full re-independence and expressing defiance against Riyadh. This is when street legitimacy collides with failed regional engineering.

A Yemeni called the Bahraini Ministry of Interior and asked what's going on with the war? They replied: Nothing, everything is calm. He said: I have good news for you. Yemen has entered the war. They asked: Where are you calling from? He replied: From Yemen. "One missile from us will hit you, and one from Iran. If you have one siren, make two." And he hung up the phone.

New UAE Armored Vehicles Deployed in Al-Mukalla as STC Reinforcements Continue || #Yemen New UAE armored vehicles have been sighted in Al-Mukalla, Hadramout, reinforcing forces loyal to the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) amid rising tensions in eastern Yemen. The vehicles appear unaffected by the recent strike on the port, suggesting that the latest military deployment and supply lines remain intact despite ongoing escalation and security developments in the region.

Despite the defeat and dissolution of the Southern Transitional Council (STC) after Saudi Arabia's 🇸🇦 offensive, South Yemen 🇾🇪 civilians continue to protest. The STC was the UAE 🇦🇪 backed militia that was controling part of South Yemen and launched a large offensive that nearly managed to merge the pro-saudi internationnaly recognized Yemen and the STC into a single state in late december 2025. Since Yemen is already cut between the north (Houthis rebels, shia muslim) and the south/east (STC, gov., sunni muslim), part of the southern population wanted to revive South Yemen/South Arabia state., which was already independant between 1967 and 1990. When the STC launched its offensive, it didn't face any large resistance and was welcomed by part of the population. However, the situation quickly reversed when Saudi Arabia and Yemen's army intervened and destroyed in a few days the dreams of independence of the pro-UAE STC. However, the population continues to widely protest in most of South Yemen's cities, calling for independence. For now, this is not the KSA's priority since it would prefer a unified state to two Yemeni states at its southern border. A pro-Iran and pro-Emirati state at its southern border would have been a nightmare for Riyadh...
