Yemen STC Head Ousted Over Treason Allegations
Rashad al-Alimi signed an executive order stripping Aidarous al-Zubaidi—who leads the Southern Transitional Council (STC)—of his council seat, citing severe charges that could reshape Yemen's fractured political landscape.
"The Presidential Leadership Council issued a decision today, Wednesday, to drop the membership of Aidrous al-Zubaidi in the Presidential Leadership Council for committing high treason and to refer him to the Prosecutor General," the decree stated.
The directive mandates that Yemen's top prosecutor will open a formal inquiry into the accusations against al-Zubaidi, whose Southern Transitional Council has wielded significant influence in the country's southern regions.
The dismissal marks a dramatic escalation in tensions within Yemen's governing body, with the treason allegations representing one of the gravest charges that can be levied against a political figure.
