Could Yemen as a country fall apart?

North and South Yemen came together in 1990 to form a united country after years of conflict.
However, it's been an uneasy union, and the civil war that began in 2015 is deepening the divide.
Separatists from the Southern Transitional Council - the STC - are part of the Saudi-UAE coalition fighting the Houthis.
But in a dramatic twist last week, they took over the city of Aden, the seat of the Saudi-backed Yemeni government.
Thousands of people waved the old South Yemen flag during a rally to support the STC.
How will the developments affect the civil war, and the fragile Saudi-UAE coalition?
