Yemen war: Separatists declare autonomous rule in south


Separatists in southern Yemen have declared self-rule, breaking a peace deal signed in November with the internationally recognised government.

The Aden-based Southern Transitional Council (STC) declared a state of emergency, saying it would govern the port city and other southern provinces.

The STC is supported by the United Arab Emirates.

The Saudi-backed Yemeni government warned of "dangerous and catastrophic consequences".

Another South Yemen, just like the cold war years. How will Iran supply the Houthis in the North? They can't do it from Aden if S. Yemen succeeds.
