Yemen separatist leader fails to attend crisis talks as Saudi-UAE rift deepens

The conflict between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia is dividing the coalition against the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
Hopes of quickly resolving this crisis have been dashed by the disappearance of the separatist leader.
The Presidential Council, supported by Saudi Arabia, dismissed STC leader Zubaidi and accused him of treason.
Separatist forces claim that Zubaidi is in Aden, a southern port city in Yemen.
