Yemen’s Presidential Council Issues Ultimatum to Emirati-Backed Forces

The presidential council of Yemen, backed by Saudi Arabia, has announced that Emirati-backed forces must vacate the country within 24 hours. This decision comes after a Saudi air strike on Mukalla port, where two ships had recently unloaded weapons for southern separatist groups.

According to reports, the council’s statement was issued in response to the recent escalation of tensions in Yemen. The move is seen as an attempt to restore stability and security in the country.

The situation in Yemen has been marked by ongoing conflict between various factions, including government forces backed by Saudi Arabia and Emirati-backed groups. Analysts have expressed concerns that the recent developments could lead to further violence and instability in the region.

Details of the council’s ultimatum are still emerging, but it is clear that the situation in Yemen remains volatile. The international community has been monitoring the situation closely, with many countries calling for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

The Saudi air strike on Mukalla port was reported to have occurred after two ships had recently arrived at the port, carrying weapons intended for southern separatist groups. The exact nature and extent of the cargo are not yet clear.

As the situation in Yemen continues to unfold, officials from various countries are working to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
