Yemenis members of the Sabahiha tribes of Lahj, who live along the strip between the south and north of the country, gather during a rally to show their support for the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC), which wants to revive an independent South Yemen, as they wave the old South Yemen flag in Khormaksar Square, in the coastal port city of Aden, the temporary capital of the Republic of Yemen on Dec. 14, 2025. The STC is part of the internationally recognised government, which is a patchwork of groups held together by their opposition to Yemen's Houthi rebels.
