Saudi Arabia has welcomed the request of the President of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council, Dr. Rashad al-Alimi, to convene a comprehensive conference in Riyadh to bring together all southern factions to discuss just solutions to the southern cause.
The Saudi Foreign Ministry urged all southern factions in Yemen to actively participate in the conference “to develop a comprehensive vision for just solutions” that fulfills the legitimate aspirations of the southern people.
In his request on Friday, Al-Alimi said he hopes the forum would bring together all southern factions "without distinction.
” Eastern Yemen’s Hadhramaut province entered a critical phase on Friday as government-backed National Shield forces began deploying against an insurgency by the Southern Transitional Council (STC), seeking to regain control of military camps and restore the state’s grip over security and military institutions under the leadership of Governor Salem al-Khanbashi.
