The decree stressed the imperative of probing into the "the events of the past days: the attack and seizure of government institutions and taking over the authorities of the state" in Socotra which sits at the entrance of the Gulf of Aden.

The government and the political parties had condemned the STC move saying it is meant to destabilize peace and serve the Houthi coup in the north.

The parties said, "We hold the STC and those backing the militia …fully responsible for the recent Socotra rebellion acts, which impediment the Riyadh Agreement."
