Yemeni Information Minister Muammar al-Iryani said that any passage or identification with the transitional council coup in Aden in this circumstance would negate the legitimacy of confronting the Houthi coup in Sanaa, as well as the justifications for the intervention of the Saudi-UAE military coalition, while the UAE-backed transitional council insisted on secession of the south.
Al-Iryani added that the position of the Transitional Council confirms its continuation in the coup scenario and ignoring the efforts exerted by the brothers in Saudi Arabia to contain the events in the province of Aden and return to normalcy, and to seek to control the rest of the southern provinces to serve the Iranian agenda.
"Our government, as faced with the Iranian Houthi militia, will face any armed formations outside the framework of the military and security establishment, and we warn of its future repercussions," he said.
Confidence in the Alliance
In similar statements, Abdul Malik al-Mikhlafi, an adviser to Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, said Yemenis had lost confidence in the Arab coalition.
In a series of tweets on his Twitter account, al-Mikhlafi added that the Arab coalition should be aware of the magnitude of what happened in Aden and its dangers, even if some of its parties were involved.
He explained that the Yemenis have lost confidence in the Arab alliance, which they supported and gave him legitimacy that strengthened legal legitimacy from the legitimate authority and the international community.
He continued, "Those who planned and worked for this (coup of Aden) internally and externally, to realize two facts: the first that he will be the fire of that, and the second that the homelands and peoples do not die."
Al-Mikhlafi, a former foreign minister, pointed out that the continuation of these conditions will lead to the transformation of the war from patriotism in the face of a coup to civil wars everywhere.
Stuck to separation
On the other hand, what is known as the South Transitional Council in Yemen, supported by the UAE, that the goal of the people of the south to restore the independent federal state of the south is irreplaceable, waving control of the rest of the provinces of southern Yemen.
Separatists on Thursday expressed their readiness to attend a summit in Saudi Arabia to resolve the crisis in Aden, after they took control of the southern port city, the seat of the Yemeni-backed government in Riyadh.
The takeover of Aden by UAE-backed separatist forces has exposed fissures in the Saudi-led military alliance that has been fighting Houthi allies with Iran for more than four years and complicated UN efforts to end the war.
The separatists are a key element in the Western-backed coalition that intervened in Yemen to fight the Houthis in March 2015 after they overthrew Hadi's government from power in the capital Sanaa in late 2014. The government became the headquarters in Aden, but Hadi lives in Riyadh.
