ADEN - Yemen’s southern separatists took control of all government military camps in Aden on Saturday, an official said, as fighting raged between nominal allies who have turned on each other, complicating U.N. efforts to end a devastating war.
The separatists took control of all military camps in the city belonging to the internationally-recognized government, a government official said. The United Arab Emirates, a member of the Saudi coalition but backing the separatists, said all efforts should focus on defeating the Houthis, and called for an end to the escalation in Aden.
The United Nations is trying to de-escalate tensions countrywide as it tries to implement a peace deal in the main port city of Hodeidah further to the north, to pave the way for wider political talks to end the war. The Houthis, who have stepped up cross-border missile and drone strikes on Saudi Arabia, control Sanaa, Hodeidah and other major urban centers while Hadi’s government holds Aden and a string of western coastal towns.
