On 19 January 2015, the Houthis seized the agency.[5] The agency then split into two factions: one pro-Hadi/Alimi, the other pro-Houthi.[6]
After 6 June 2021, forces of the separatist Southern Transitional Council stormed the SABA building in Aden. The rebels were reported to have closed down the building with death threats to the employees.[7][8][9][10]
