ADEN, Yemen, April 26 -- Forces loyal to the Southern Transitional Council (STC) on Sunday declared their full control over all sovereign state institutions in Yemen's southern port city of Aden.
In a press statement, the STC's forces announced that they have taken control of the state vital institutions in Aden, including the city's sole airport, the central bank, ministries, oil refinery, and the seaports.
Heavy forces backed by armored vehicles were seen deployed around the headquarters of Yemen's Central Bank (YCB) in and near the city's sole airport as well as the seaport.
Taking control over the vital state institutions in Aden was part of implementing the directions of the STC's political leadership, according to the forces' statement.
Earlier in the day, the Aden-based STC declared a state of emergency and said it would begin in self-governing the country's southern port city of Aden and other key neighboring southern provinces under its control.
The STC's statement also included declaring a state of emergency in Aden and all other neighboring southern provinces as of Saturday midnight.
The STC assigned its own economic, legal, military, and security committees to manage the state institutions based in all the country's southern provinces.
It also stated that "the decision to control and self-govern the country's southern provinces came in light of the failure, mismanagement and rampant corruption practiced by the Yemeni government, which practiced the policy of subjugation and starvation of the people."
