Major General Aidarus Qassem Abdulaziz Al-Zubaidi (Arabic: عَيْدَرُوْس قاسم عبد العزيز الزُّبَيْدي) is the Vice President within the Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council (PLC)[4] and president of the Southern Transitional Council and the de facto leader of the Southern MovementinYemen. He previously served as the governor of Aden Governorate from December 2015 to April 2017.

Biography[edit]

Al-Zoubaidi is a former military commander from Dhale Governorate who remained loyal to President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi during the Yemeni Civil War. He was appointed as Governor of Aden in early December 2015, after the previous governor, Major General Jaafar Mohammed Saad, was assassinated in a car bombing.[5] In early January 2016, he survived an assassination attempt by ISIL when a bomb exploded near his convoy, and at least one bodyguard was killed.[6] He was fired on 27 April 2017 by President Hadi.[7] On May 3, major rallies were held in Aden to protest the decision of Hadi.

One week later, the Southern Transitional Council (STC) was formed; some of the members were the governors of Dhale Governorate, Shabwah Governorate, Hadramaut Governorate, Lahij Governorate, Socotra, and Al Mahrah Governorate.[citation needed] Al-Zoubaidi became a member of the Southern Movement and President of the Southern Transitional Council.[8]

On 29 January 2018, in the Battle of Aden, al-Zoubaidi announced a state of emergency in Aden and that "the STC has begun the process of overthrowing Hadi’s rule over the South".[9] In April 2020, the STC announced self-rule in southern Yemen.[10]
