South Yemen Separatists Call For Secession

Separatists in Aden, South Yemen, have engaged in deadly clashes with security forces and pro-unification protesters from the Islamist Islah Party and have renewed calls for secession, complicating Yemen’s fragile transition, reports Vivian Salama from Aden.

A supporter of the separatist Southern Movement is carried to an ambulance after he was injured during clashes with security forces in the southern Yemeni port city of Aden February 21, 2013, ahead of planned rallies to mark the first anniversary of ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh's ouster. Yemen has struggled to restore normality since President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi was elected in February 2012 following a year of protests that forced his predecessor Saleh to step down after 33 years in power.
