CAIRO (Reuters) – Yemen’s southern separatists have suspended their participation in consultations on a power-sharing deal for the south, known as the “Riyadh agreement”, a Southern Transitional Council (STC) statement said on Tuesday.
Saudi Arabia has been trying to implement the deal, first proposed in November, to end a conflict between southern separatists and the Saudi-backed Yemeni government in the south.
