The circle of angry protests over the deterioration of services in the city of Aden, in southern Yemen, has spread to several regions.

Witnesses said that hundreds of people went on continuous demonstrations from Sunday afternoon until late at night in the cities of Mansoura, Crater and Sheikh Othman. The demonstrators chanted against the legitimate government and the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council, which controls the city.

Aden suffers from poor services, and a continuous blackout of up to 18 hours per day in light of high temperatures, and the spread of epidemics and diseases.

Also, during the past weeks, there were protests against the deterioration of services, the control of the transitional council over the city, and its failure to allow the government to return to face the catastrophic situation resulting from the spread of epidemics, following the floods that struck the region last April, in addition to the spread of Corona.

The transitional council failed to stop the protest, despite its resorting to force on May 22, resulting in the death of one of the protesters and a number of wounded.

And the Southern Transitional Council announced last April 26 what it called self-management in the southern governorates, which was met with regional and international rejection.

The government had signed an agreement with the Transition Council in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on November 5, 2019, but it had not succeeded in addressing the situation in the south, which the Transitional Council is demanding to secede from northern Yemen.
