Yemen's Southern Transitional Council (STC) announced on Friday the start of a two-year transitional period towards declaring an independent state from the north after its forces seized large areas of the country's south.
"Proceeding from the desire and will of our southern people to restore and proclaim their state... we announce the commencement of a transitional phase lasting two years," the southern separatist movement's leader, Aidarus al-Zubaidi, said in a televised address.
Supported by the United Arab Emirates, the STC has long been a part of Yemen's internationally recognized government, which has spearheaded the battle against the Houthi movement and is backed by Saudi Arabia.
