The Russian RT channel had revealed in a news report that its correspondent in the capital Aden, had received messages of death threat if he continued to cover the events in the South.
The journalist Salah Al-Aqil is one of the most prominent journalists in the southern media scene during the past years, in which he has worked with many international and local channels.
