Aden, Yemen – Local sources in the interim capital, Aden, reported on Sunday the sudden closure of the headquarters of the National Assembly affiliated with the Southern Transitional Council. Members and staff were also prevented from entering the building. As a result, this move has sparked a wave of speculation about the council’s future. This comes amidst an unprecedented military and political escalation.
Sources reported that members of the association were surprised this morning by heightened security measures around the headquarters. They were informed that they were barred from entering to carry out their usual duties without any immediate official explanation.
Reshaping the landscape in the Southern
Field reports indicate that the move is part of broader political and security arrangements led by the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council. This occurs within the framework of understandings described as “crucial” for reshaping the landscape in the south.
This closure comes in the wake of dramatic developments announced by Saudi Arabia, including a decision to dissolve the Southern Transitional Council.
