CAIRO, Jan 10 (Reuters) – Yemen’s main separatist ‍group, the Southern Transitional Council, denied on Saturday it ‌was disbanding, ‌according to a statement posted on X.

The statement comes amid ​conflicting remarks by members ‍on ​the UAE-backed ​group’s fate, reflecting ‍a feud between Gulf powers Saudi Arabia and the ‍United Arab Emirates that was blown ‍into ‍the open ​by a ​separatist ⁠advance last month.
