💨 Abstract

In Yemen, an Emirati-backed secessionist group, the Southern Transitional Council (STC), is advancing into the province of Abyan as part of its ongoing campaign to expand control in the south. This move follows the STC's recent seizure of key provinces and oil facilities, raising concerns about renewed conflict. Saudi-led efforts to de-escalate tensions have stalled as the STC refuses to withdraw from recently captured areas.
