Report: The port city has now turned into a scene where Saudi Arabia and the UAE, members of a Riyadh-led coalition that is waging a war on Yemen, are competing for influence.

Aden, Yemen’s second largest city, used to be the capital of the once independent South Yemen before unification in 1990.

The crisis has further deepened since two days in Aden amid recent calls for the secession of South Yemen and bomb attacks by terrorists.

Several reports came as resigned Hadi loyalists have been deployed across Aden ahead of a deadline given by the UAE-allied Southern Transitional Council to resingned Hadi to dismiss his cabinet, led by self-proclaimed prime minister Ahmed Obeid bin Daghr.

According to the International Committee of the Red Cross, over 36 people have been killed and nearly 200 others injured since clashes began on Sunday after the separatists managed to take control of a number of sites and military camps run by the former Yemeni administration following intense clashes with Saudi mercenaries.

Meanwhile, at least five people from one family were killed after Saudi fighter jets targeted a house in Bani Moein district in the county’s Sa’ada province.

According to reporter, Saudi warplanes also targeted the town of Sahaar in the province with internationally-banned cluster bombs.

Former Hadi has said that the outbreak of fighting between UAE-backed separatists and Saudi-backed forces in the country’s southern regions is nothing short of a coup.

France also concerned by the clashes between separatists and the Yemeni army that left several dead on January 28 in Aden.

Condemn this violence and call on the parties to exercise restraint and engage in dialogue in order not to hinder the resolution of the crisis.
