I kept looking for a reason that explains the change in the flag. This twit may partially say why.
"... you have believed in naming the conflicting parties on the ground The flag of the south is the only force that fights, there is no legitimacy there, and the habit of breaking up with its people does not pose a threat to our southern borders. Thank you for the neutrality of the map."
My take: Of course the flag of the south may refer to the old country "South Yemen". However, this is partially so, because there is a star on the flag as seen in the twit above (within the blue triangle) and this is the flag aligned with the STC or Southern Transitional Council.
