The Future of South Yemen and the Southern Transitional Council

A central role in shaping the political future of South Yemen is played by the Transitional Council of the South, which is increasingly perceived internationally as the representative of South Yemeni interests. While this corresponds to the Council's claim, it does not do justice to the multitude of rival actors there.

There are signs of a global increase in this executive personalisation having occurred over the last 12 months.
