Tens of thousands gathered in Seiyun on Sunday to support the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) declaring an independent 'South Arabia,' backing its recent military advances into Hadramaut and Al-Mahrah to secure against Houthi smuggling and Islah influence. The rally followed STC's 'Operation Promising Future,' which seized key bases, buildings, and oil sites from Saudi-backed forces, with participants calling it a 'popular referendum' and leaders hinting at statehood. While STC frames the actions as anti-terrorism protection, Saudi Arabia warned of consequences, Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council condemned the moves as chaotic, and critics questioned crowd turnout amid tribal wariness of separatism. Thousands rallied again in Mukalla on Monday, underscoring fractures in southern Yemen over unity and control of vital oil fields.
