💨 Abstract

Yemen's Saudi-backed government retook Mukalla, the capital of Hadramout province, from UAE-backed southern separatists. This move is part of a broader conflict between Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which has fractured the coalition fighting the Houthi movement. The Southern Transitional Council (STC) had seized control of Mukalla last month and declared intentions for a referendum on independence.
