Saudi ambassador to Yemen, Mohammed Al-Jaber, yesterday met with the president of the United Arab Emirates-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC), Aidarous Al-Zubaidi, to discuss "efforts to jointly confront the Houthi group forces." "Al-Zubaidi and I discussed the importance of the kingdom's support to the Yemeni government, as well as plans to unite our ranks to confront the intransigence of the Houthi militia," Al-Jaber said on Twitter, slamming what he described as Houthis' "rejection to the United Nations' consultations." Al-Jaber described the meeting as "fruitful," pointing out that they had also discussed the "completion of the Riyadh Agreement implementation."
