The Presidency of the Southern Transitional Council (STC) held its periodic meeting, on Tuesday, chaired by General Major Ben Brik acting President of the STC, Chairman of the National Assembly.

In its meeting, the Presidency stood before the Houthi attacks on the ports of Al-Dhabba and Al-Nashima in Hadhramaut and Shabwa governorates, affirming that these attacks express the unilateral termination of all agreements signed with the Houthi militia, which necessitates the cancellation of all facilities provided to it under Stockholm Agreement and the UN-med-truce, which the militia repudiated its renewal and met with a comprehensive military escalation on all fronts including the aggressive attacks on the oil ports of Al-Dhabba and Al-Nashima.

The Presidency warned against keeping either of the two agreements which will push the Houthi militia to go further in its aggressive attacks. In this regard, the Presidency reiterated its demand for the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) to urgently transfer the forces of the First Military Region in the Valley of Hadhramaut to the fronts to assume their responsibilities in facing the Houthi threats.

The Presidency stressed the speedy completion of the procedures resulted from the announcement of the National Defense Council, classifying the Houthi militia as a terrorist group, consolidating regional and international efforts to adopt this classification at the international level, in addition to ceasing all kinds of facilities, and communications with this terrorist militia.

Furthermore, the Presidency discussed the file of collecting sovereign revenues, and those evading supply to the Central Bank, affirming its full support for imposing the State’s authority on the sea port in Ras Al-A’ra to follow the concerned State institutions, as well as to control and collect the resources of the land ports in Hadhramaut and Al-Mahra, and making the necessary arrangements to ensure supplying it to the State.

To the end of the meeting, the Presidency stood before several topics and issues on its agenda and took appropriate measures in their regard.
