Frankly Speaking | S14 E1 | Mustafa Noman, Yemeni Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates

As the political picture in Yemen’s south shifts again, on this episode we speak with Yemen’s deputy foreign minister, His Excellency Mustafa Noman. Since December, the STC has been outlawed. Its former leader, Aidarous Al-Zubaidi, is on the run, and talks in Riyadh have exposed deep divisions over the future of southern Yemen. So was the STC’s move a sudden miscalculation or a strategy long in the making? Who actually speaks to the south now, and after Riyadh has anything really changed?
