SANAA, Yemen — When Yemen's internationally recognized government and the separatist Southern Transitional Council (STC) signed a power-sharing deal — which is known as the Riyadh Agreement — on Nov. 5 to end a power struggle in the south, residents of Sanaa expressed frustration at the agreement.
“This agreement is born dead. It doesn't help us nor harm us in Sanaa,” said Naif Sakkaf, as he piled Arabic newspapers in his newsstand in Sanaa. He hopes it will not last and collapse before long.
