BBC: Yemen conflict: Southern separatists give up on self-rule
Separatists in southern Yemen have given up on the self-rule they declared in April.
The separatists, the Southern Transitional Council (STC), agreed the move in an accord with the internationally recognised government.
The accord gives the STC representation in a new Yemeni government to be formed within 30 days.
