Rejected by components in the southern Yemeni movement .. The signing of the "Riyadh Agreement" on Tuesday

The Yemeni government and the United Arab Emirates-backed transitional council will sign a "Riyadh agreement" reached earlier this month amid rejection by the southern movement, Saudi and Yemeni officials said Saturday.

"The Riyadh agreement will be officially signed in Saudi Arabia in the presence of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Yemeni President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi," AFP quoted a Yemeni information minister as saying.

For his part, Saudi Ambassador to Yemen Mohammed Al Jaber wrote that Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan will also attend the signing of the agreement.

The Yemeni government and the southern transition had held secret talks and discussions mediated by Riyadh in the Saudi city of Jeddah.

At the end of the talks, an agreement was signed on October 25, which provides for the formation of a government of 24 ministries "equally between the southern and northern governorates of Yemen."

Saudi officials and media said the government would be stationed in Aden again under the auspices of Prime Minister Moein Said to "re-launch state institutions."

A "joint committee" overseen by the Saudi-led military alliance will ensure implementation.

But the components and factions in the Southern Movement announced its rejection of what it called the dissolution of the south in a particular political faction, which is legitimized without the consensus of other components or consensus.

The components - in a statement - that it adheres to the rejection of the uniqueness of the Southern Transitional Council - trained and armed by the UAE - to sign the Riyadh agreement with the legitimate government, and considered as the sole representative of the issue of the south.

After their meeting in Riyadh, the components stressed the need to reach a collective southern consensus that establishes a sustainable social peace, as well as launching development in southern Yemen.

It is noteworthy that on October 14, the UAE handed over important sites in Aden (southern Yemen) to Saudi forces, including the city's airport in order to facilitate the implementation of any agreement between the Yemeni government and the southern transition.
