One yemen to be space again complaining of unfair treatment by the north the civil war has already torn the country of parts of the hoose the rebels seized control of the capital in twenty fourteen president how his government was forced to move to aden in the south adding to the tension in knighted Arab Emirates southern separatists despite being part of the sanity Led Coalition thats helping president hadi bottle a sonic reports. The. Yemens Prime Minister says secessionists have staged a coup in the southern port city of aden. Not speer the government had been based for the last few years there are reports of several people being killed in fighting between progovernment forces and separatists. This mobile phone footage appears to show people arriving in the city thousands of protesters have been gathering against an internationally recognized and saudi backed government the demonstrators are backed by the United Arab Emirates which is supposed to be saudi arabias ally in yemen. Who. Is not necessarily in that situation when you. Realize that some of you have grown very important. In yemen. You are now you were you are now creating new territory. And youre if you. Will we. Know that you have its own you have your own. And more. Youre really hungry and i think we didnt want to repeat and based on current situation. The conflict in todays yemen is complicated the country used to be divided would be north and south yemen until unification in one nine hundred ninety but the difference is never really went away since the fight the deputies began in two thousand and fifteen the secessionists have fought for control over air and sea ports of aden last week Southern Forces led by the man appointed by president of the rebel months who are highly as the governor of aden announced to overthrow hardys government and that Major General rule is to be rejected the deployment of northern forces to the south there have been calls since last sunday so its been about a week for people to go down to the streets to protest and the surf Transitional Council has been calling on had the head of government to dissolve and for a new government to be appointed they are calling for independence as well as weve seen on the ground the clashes are continuing and the situation is developing very quickly now the future of president hadi is in question he has been based in saudi arabia along with his Prime Minister ahmed been the other who struggled to control southern yemen despite support from saudi arabia. Womens elected government was pushed out of the capital sanaa in the north and now it doesnt seem to have a place in the south as well some of the jarvey the others there. Well as a senior political analyst moment bashar who joins me now in the city and this is called most of us unaware as a separatist were backing the government against him since while. Yeah you know when when countries implodes when center of thought of these. Lose all legitimacy yemenis syrians egyptians dont become the regions you know they become fall back again to be tribal or sectarians just like norwegians and americans with the center of thought if was a part there would become again tribal and and sectarians and so on and so forth so here we have a situation whereby the southern those among themselves are now fighting because thats all remember that also the president and the Prime Minister are southerners they are not northerners so what we have is a situation where theres a new body called Transitional Council thats trying to actually lead a project of completely separate southern yemen from nothern yemen as it were before nine hundred ninety while the other southerners like the president and the Prime Minister insist no that they need to remain part of the whole of yemen and continue to fight against the whole things paradoxically the same allegations against sumter governments that were mounted by the host these two three years ago are the ones used today by those southerners who want to separate does this mean were going to ask the same illness going back in time and we are going to see a split of the country you see this is the thing again i mean past is present in the middle east. And the past is the present in their lives in so many ways once again why not because people are most stuck to the past because everything fell apart over the last six seven years notably in yemen syria egypt and other places and when that when everything falls apart and there is no credible alternative at least no Democratic Alternative is allowed to take place because of counterrevolution because of cynical regional and International Powers that dont allow democrats like them to take place people fall back into all identities and in this case we have a number of southerners who are actually with the help of the United Arab Emirates trying to separate needing to end and intermediate future some kind of a southern entity under u. A. E. Auspices that was my other question was what is the u. A. E. Tearing here they were part of the Saudi Coalition i suppose they still part of it and that see now on surface sides and the the again the paradox is is that for gulf countries egypt. Had been criticizing qatar for for a year now for punching above its weight why because it supported the various. Democratic process sees in various arab countries here we have a situation where the u. A. E. A very small tiny gulf nation but very very very rich throwing its weight around to support counterrevolution division and who are basically everywhere from libya to yemen. And it is mind boggling for somebody why would a country a small country with actually quite industrious population was successful project whatever the reasons are like dubai like i would be like the oil industry and so on so forth why would they other than crazy ambition be you know. Creating problems and taking sides in libya without the revolution in yemen with contribution in syria with contribution and certainly in egypt with contribution it is mind boggling or a shower making sense of it as usual thank you very much. Now to syria where eight people including a child have been killed in eastern desponding to suppose cease fire have been reports of heavy fighting shelling and air raids in the area overnight on friday russia said it would put pressure on damascus to enforce a truce but the ceasefire hasnt been publicly confirmed it is the last remaining rebel stronghold near the capital. And turkey says its taken control of a key mountain in Northern Syria as it stacks up its offensive against kurdish fighters in the air frame each and turkeys accuse the Kurdish Group of using the mountain to fully a shells across the border into the texas town of killis from kelis stephanie to how small. The battle for pursuing a mountain intensified on son. The constant roar of jets and artillery targeting this important high point along the turkish border. Explosions echoed over the border town of killis drawing a crowd. A strange fascination watching the war unfold but for some its a little too close to home. Even though we are hearing killis weve become used to this war has happened before when i saw it was on the other side of the border still moved to another area for safety. Turkeys offensive against the y. P. The Kurdish Group it considers a terrorist organization is very visible here. It is also stirred nationalist fervor. Was. Lowered. And this is what that operation looks like inside syria turkey is backing Free Syrian Army fighters and at the moment the main focus is pushing back from the border was the kurdish fighters say turkeys offensive has caused civilian casualties turkey says it only targets y p g positions. But as is often the case in war facts can be hard to come was turkeys leaders stress that this is only the beginning and they intend to clear the y. P. G. From its entire border area all the way to iraq but the y p g in that area further east is supported by the United States and there are american bases and military personnel on the ground their relations between ankara and washington are already tense and just another example of how complicated syrias war has become Stephanie Decker aljazeera kilis on the turkish syrian border.
