ADEN: Separatists surrounded two government military bases in Yemen's south and demanded elements inside surrender, 10 days after they seized the defacto capital Aden, sources on both sides said on Tuesday .
"The Security Belt Forces ... are demanding the troops surrender or they will storm the camp," he said, referring to the United Arab Emirates-trained force that is aligned with the STC. On August 10, the Security Belt Forces ousted loyalists of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi from what was the capital of the formerly independent south in clashes that left around 40 people dead.
"What Abyan governorate is witnessing is an unjustified escalation by the STC," the Yemeni foreign ministry quoted him as saying. In an interview with pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat, STC spokesman Haitham said the group was open to dialogue but ruled out any withdrawal from the military posts in Aden.
The UAE is Saudi Arabia's main partner in the coalition fighting the Huthis, but trained and equipped the separatists.
