ADEN - Southern separatists seized two Yemeni government military bases near the southern port of Aden early on Tuesday, triggering fresh clashes between nominal allies that have complicated U.N. peace efforts, residents and officials said.
But the separatists broke with the government this month, seizing its temporary base of Aden on Aug. 10. On Tuesday, they took two government military bases in Zinjibar, around 60 km east of Aden in Abyan province, residents said. Divisions have spread with the overall war - which is widely seen as a proxy conflict between Sunni Muslim power Saudi Arabia and Shi’ite power Iran - largely stuck in stalemate.“What is happening in Abyan is an unjustified escalation by the Southern Transitional Council ,” the Yemeni government foreign ministry said.
STC fighters turned against the government and seized Aden after accusing a party allied to Hadi of being complicit in a Houthi missile attack on southern forces.
