<p>The announcement of self-rule by the Southern Transitional Council is a dangerous
move which risks prolonging the conflict. The UK supports the Saudi-brokered Riyadh
Agreement between the Government of Yemen and the Southern Transitional Council. The
Riyadh Agreement is the best means of restoring security and stability to Southern
Yemen and the UK urges the parties to resume their efforts towards implementation.
We are encouraging the parties to refrain from unconstructive acts and statements,
and we are working with them to agree a way forward. This is more important than ever
after the heavy flooding in the South and the recent confirmation of deaths in Yemen
from COVID-19.</p>
