The movement has not stopped its activities toward this goal since its establishment in 2007, during the term of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Formed on 11 May 2017, the council consists of 26 members and is headed by Aidarus al-Zoubaidi as president with Hani Bin Breik as vice-president. STC rules most of the territory in southern Yemen.
In the end of April 2017, Governor of the Aden Governorate Aidarus al-Zoubaidi was sacked by Hadi, with the reason of disloyalty to him, and loyalty to the Southern Movement. In May 3, major rallies were held in Aden to protest the decision of Hadi.
