[Saudi Arabia denounces the Southern Transitional Council of Yemen, saying it is increasing tension. On January 2, local time, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Yemen, Jaber Jaber, said that Yemeni Southern Transitional Council leader Zubadi has taken a series of unilateral decisions on related issues and has not followed the existing political consensus. He said that the operation led by Zubedi in Hadramaut and Mehra provinces was considered “one of the most dangerous decisions” and heightened local tension. He also said that in the process of promoting the downgrade of the situation, the Saudi side continued to encounter rejection and tough positions on the part of Zubaidi. Jaber revealed that Zubaidi had refused to issue flight permits for the Saudi official delegation's flights to Aden and directly ordered the closure of flights at Aden International Airport.
