The STC member said on condition of anonymity that "the pro-Qatar political Yemeni parties participated in financing armed groups in the southern provinces. The STC leadership banned the Islah activities and blacklisted it."
"Some leaders are still receiving financial support from Qatar to recruit terrorists for launching sabotage acts and abort the efforts exerted by our forces in fighting terrorism," the STC member said.
On the other hand, members of the Muslims Brotherhood Islah party accused military leaders backed by the UAE of failure in managing the situation in Aden despite the large logistic support provided from the Saudi-led coalition.
"The UAE-backed military leaders are ruling Aden and have the upper hand there but they are using Qatar intervention as a pretext to hide their failure in management and fighting terrorism," said one of the Islah members in Aden named as Farooq Ali.
In January, forces loyal to the STC engaged in fierce armed confrontations with the government Presidential Protection Forces over the control of Aden.
During January's fighting, the forces loyal to the STC took control of the port city of Aden and other government headquarters after two days of clashes that left more than 38 people killed and scores others injured.
There have been rising tensions between southern separatist leaders and ministers of the Saudi-backed Yemeni government over control of the southern half of the country after expelling the Iranian-backed Houthis.
