Yemen's southern separatists have rescinded their declaration of self-rule, ending a months-long power struggle and paving the way for reconciliation between nominal allies in the fight against the country’s Houthi rebels.
“We have achieved the goals,” Nizar Haitham, spokesperson for the Southern Transitional Council (STC), tweeted Wednesday. “Stressing that we are always alongside our great southern people, carrying their noble national aspirations and goals that cannot be undone.”
