Yemen’s southern separatists announce constitution amid escalation of conflict
Yemen’s UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) on Friday announced a constitution for an independent southern state, outlining a two-year transition and a referendum on self-determination. This follows the STC’s takeover of Aden and two southern provinces last month, and it comes as Saudi warplanes struck STC positions in Hadramout amid clashes over control of the south.
