The Presidium of the Southern Transitional Council (STC) held its periodic meeting, on Tuesday, chaired by General Major Ben Brik acting in charge of the STC and the chairman of the National Assembly.

At the beginning of the meeting, the Presidium applauded the huge mass rallies of the people of Hadhramaut, reiterated its demand for the Arab coalition to transfer the military forces from the first military division, as it is an imperative to stabilize the security situation in the Valley and Desert of Hadhrmout, inasmuch as the popular rejection of these forces was articulated at large, in the city of Saiyun on the anniversary of the glorious 14th of October revolution.

At its meeting, the Presidium condemned the Houthi military escalation on the Yafe'a, Al-Dhale'a, Al-Sabbaiha, and Karesh fronts, stressing the importance of expediting the arrangements for transferring the military forces positioned in the Valley and Desert of Hadhramaut to the fronts to confront this escalation. In this respect, it cautioned against any attempts to obstruct these preparations, which could be considered an annulment of the Riyadh Agreement and efforts to complete its implementation.

After that, the Presidium discussed a report submitted by the Decision-Making Support Center, which focused on the latest developments in the southern landscape, in addition to another report submitted by the Internal Southern National Dialogue team (ISNDT), on the results of its meetings with various forces, formations, and community organizations.
