"Our cities are not battlefields because we want to live a peaceful life away from the politicians' conflict over seizing the southern cities," he added.
On Thursday, the governor of Abyan along with senior pro-government security officials left the local government's compound and headed to their villages with the protection of their tribal fighters after the arrival of the STC forces.
Forces of the STC completely secured neighboring Aden after aborting a large-scale military operation launched on Wednesday by the Yemeni government to retake the strategic southern city.
Aden is almost entirely under the control of the STC forces that are also allied to the Saudi-led coalition in the fighting against the Houthis.
Considered as Yemen's temporary capital, Aden is where the Saudi-backed Yemeni government has based itself since 2017.
The impoverished Arab country has been locked in a civil war since late 2017, when the Houthis overran much of the country and seized all northern provinces including the capital Sanaa.
