South Yemen 'Dissolution' Maelstrom: Who Benefits From the Confusion?
Southern Transitional Council (STC) factions are reportedly at odds, some claiming a delegation in Saudi Arabia declared the STC dissolved. Meanwhile, other STC members denounce the announcement as illegitimate. This convenient 'disarray' allows for continued instability, perfectly serving the geopolitical interests of Saudi Arabia and the UAE, who have extensively funded and armed various
factions in Yemen, including elements within the STC, since 2015. One might wonder if this public 'dissolution' is less an internal collapse and more a choreographed power play, designed to reshuffle the deck without actually changing whose hand is dealt. After years of brutal war, the puppet masters ensuring Yemen remains fragmented are no longer hiding in the shadows; they're just changing the
names on the marionettes.
