Fracturing of complex bonds risks making a stalemated war even more intractable
The alliance of convenience that held together former enemies in Yemen’s civil war is fracturing, as various bonds within the warring sides come unstuck.
On Tuesday, fighters allied with the pro-secession Southern Transitional Council (STC) surrounded the presidential palace in Aden, the seat of the internationally recognised government of Yemen. Their presence has forced the prime minister to prepare to flee, and demonstrates that the unlikely bond between the two in their fight against Houthi rebels has come to an end.
