Yemeni separatists to attend Saudi talks after losing key southern military sites

Jan 07, 2026

Sanaa [Yemen], January 7: Yemeni government troops backed by Saudi Arabia have completed the handover of all military sites in Hadramout and Al-Mahra governorates, which they successfully reclaimed from the United Arab Emirates-backed secessionist Southern Transitional Council (STC) in recent days, according to Yemeni media.
A delegation led by STC leader, Aidarous Al-Zubaidi, was expected to travel to Saudi Arabia for a peace forum, the Reuters news agency reported - a potential sign of progress towards ending the conflict that has rocked war-torn Yemen and spiked tensions between Riyadh and Abu Dhabi. Over the last two days, STC troops have withdrawn from the city of Mukalla, the key eastern port and capital of Hadramout, which Saudi Arabia bombed last week in a limited coalition operation.
