The Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) in Yemen has retaken two strategic southern provinces from the Southern Transitional Council (STC) after a month-long takeover, sparking clashes between the Saudi-backed PLC and UAE-backed STC forces. The PLC, led by Rashad al-Alimi, aims to manage political and security affairs during a transitional period, while the STC, seeking independence for southern Yemen, has faced internal turmoil with its leader Aidarous al-Zubaidi dismissed and the group disbanding. The Iranian-backed Houthi rebels control northern and western regions, including the capital Sanaa, adding to the complex dynamics and instability in war-torn Yemen.
