Part 1/12:
Yemen on the Brink: A Fractured Nation and the Rise of the Southern Transitional Council
Yemen, a country long embroiled in internal conflict and regional power struggles, is once again teetering on the edge of total collapse. Recent events suggest that Yemen's precarious balance of power is shifting dramatically, driven not by the familiar Houthi rebels but by a less-publicized but equally formidable faction: the Southern Transitional Council (STC). The rapid territorial advances by the STC, backed heavily by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), threaten to fracture Yemen into separate entities and ignite regional proxy conflicts that could reshape the Middle East political landscape.
