Delegation from Yemen separatists flies to Russia

MOSCOW (Agencies): A high-level delegation from the separatist Southern Transitional Council (STC) in Yemen flew to Moscow on Sunday for talks with Russian officials.

The delegation, led by STC chairman Aidarus al-Zoubaidi, will hold talks with government officials and members of the Russian parliament on a host of files, the Southern Transitional Council (STC) said in a statement, without elaborating.

The STC, which is backed by the UAE, said the visit comes upon an invitation from the Russian government.

Formed in 2017, the STC controls large areas of southern Yemen, including the temporary capital Aden and Socotra province.

However, the Yemeni Presidency announced on Dec. 18, 2020 the formation of a new Yemeni government which included ministers nominated by the STC.

The new government was formed based on the Riyadh Agreement between the Yemeni government and the STC, which put an end to military clashes between forces of both parties.
