Aden — Rashad al-Alimi, head of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council, announced the dismissal of Aidarous al-Zubaidi from the body, accusing the separatist leader of “high treason,” according to Agence France-Presse.
The move comes amid unconfirmed reports that al-Zubaidi, who also heads the Southern Transitional Council, fled to an unknown destination. Al-Alimi charged that his departure represented a betrayal of the council and the country’s interests.
The dismissal underscores escalating tensions within Yemen’s fractured leadership, highlighting deep divisions among anti-Houthi forces as the war continues.
