ADEN - Southern separatists clashed on Wednesday with presidential guards in Aden, the seat of Yemen’s government, and three people were killed and nine injured, local officials and residents told Reuters.
The separatists and the internationally recognized government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi are nominally united in their battle against the Houthis. After the funeral, the vice-president of the separatist Southern Transitional Council , Hani Ali Brik, called on supporters to march on the palace and overthrow the government, but there was no sign such a march had begun.
The United Nations’ special envoy for Yemen, Martin Griffiths, expressed concern about the flare-up in Aden. Wednesday’s fracas came after the STC on Tuesday alleged that an Islamist party that is an important ally of Hadi was complicit in last week’s killing of the Security Belt soldiers.
