Leader of the Southern Transitional Council (STC), Aidarous Al-Zubaidi, and others with him fled Yemen last night via the passenger ship BAMEDHAF.

According to the spokesman of the Legitimacy Backing Coalition spokesman, Turki al-Maliki, Al-Zubaidi escaped via a maritime vessel from Aden port, bound for Somaliland, Somalia, under the cover of darkness on January 7, 2026.
