Southern Transitional Council

The Southern Transitional Council (STC) is a political and military organization based in the southern part of Yemen. It advocates for greater autonomy or independence for southern Yemen, which was once a separate country called South Yemen. The STC seeks to protect the interests of Southerners and has clashed with the internationally recognized government of Yemen. It also plays a significant role in the ongoing conflict in Yemen, aligning with certain factions to influence the country's future. The STC's actions and goals reflect long-standing regional divisions and tensions within Yemen.
