Press Statement

 [Aden, May 01, 2020] The Southern Transitional Council welcomes the statement issued by the Arab coalition led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, affirming the importance of the Riyadh Agreement, and the need to respect its sequencial steps, especially with regard to the implementation of the political and economic aspects which the Yemeni Government had tried to disrupt completely, as well as the necessity to review the emerged developments in order to ensure peace, stability and to achieve common goals.

The Southern Transitional Council also stresses the necessity to intensify efforts to deal with the damage of flash floods in the capital Aden, as well as dealing with Covid-19, also highlighting the need to respect the aspirations of the Southern People and their rights to determine their political destiny, providing the basic services and rights to our citizens as those aspects are of high priority and cannot be deferred or stalled.
