(Worthy News) – Yemeni separatists have captured the strategically important southern port city of Aden following days of fighting against government-loyal forces.
The city’s military compounds, the presidential palace, port and airport were seized Saturday by the United Arab Emirates-backed Southern Transitional Council, the council’s spokesman told CNN.
The Yemen civil war began in 2015 between the Yemeni government and the Iranian-backed Houthi militants, resulting in turning the poorest nation in the Arab region into the world’s “largest humanitarian crisis” resulting in some 24.1 million people requiring some form of assistance or protection and 14.3 million people in acute need of help.
