Quality 0.00 · 6 views · Updated 1 month ago

The Southern Transitional Council (STC; Arabic: المجلس الانتقالي الجنوبي, romanized: al-Majlis al-Intiqālī al-Janūbī) was a Yemeni separatist political and paramilitary organization that formed in 2017 and held territory in southern Yemen until January 2026. Formed as a faction of the Southern Movement, it has called for the secession of a proposed federal "State of South Arabia" from the rest of the nation along the borders of former South Yemen, with the name being inspired from the British-created Federation of South Arabia. The organization was backed by the United Arab Emirates.
