The southern journalist, Yasser Al-Yafei, accused the Prime Minister of Yemen, Maeen Abdul-Malik, of “deepening the chaos in the south,” in a post he wrote on the social networking site “Facebook.”

Al-Yafei said that Abdul-Malik “serves Al-Houthi at the expense of the sacrifices of the people of the south,” and that his continuation in his position “will serve Al-Houthi and weaken the people in the south socially, politically, and militarily.”

He added that the leadership of the Southern Transitional Council “must be aware of this equation and realize that Al-Houthi announced mobilization in the north, taking advantage of what is happening in Gaza, to attack the south,” and that “its silence on the government failure is a disaster for which we will all pay.”
