Yemen’s Southern Transitional Council Announces Mass Rallies in Aden and Across South

Yemen’s Southern Transitional Council announced on Sunday plans for a mass rally in Aden and gatherings across the southern governorates.

The council described the planned mobilization as a “million-person” event, with Aden serving as its central gathering point. The term reflects the scale sought by organizers, rather than a confirmed attendance figure.

The stated aim is to “defend the south and its national project,” placing the council’s political goals at the heart of the mobilization.

The council also said the gatherings would seek to protect the “gains of the southern people.” The announcement did not specify which gains it was referring to.

No date for the rallies or further details about their organization were included in the announcement.
