| [Yemen Post] A policeman was killed and two were maimed today in the headquarter of Police camp by gunnies loyal to Deputy Minister of Interior who leads the Police camp Mohammed Abdullah Alqawsi. Dozens of coppers gathered in front of their camp in a protest against their leader Alqawsi demanding to change their leader. According to local sources, the deputy interior minister, brought with him 50 gunnies of his followers to confront the protest of his soldiers who shoot fire against the protesters with live bullets which led to the fall of one solider dead and two others maimed. The source added that dozens of officers of Aqawsi left him and joined the protesters to demand their rights. They have also clashed with those gangs of Alqawsi. The sources pointed out that there is mediation being made to calm the situation between soldiers and gunnies who cut off Taiz Street crowded with cars and pedestrians, which is the main line that connects a number of Sana'a with the Yemeni governorates of Taiz, Dhamar, Ibb and Aden. The situation there remained in tension until the moment of writing the news, where protesters demanded the handover of the gunnies who fired live bullets on them and killed one of their colleagues and wounding others. The soldiers pledged to drop out the deputy interior minister and police chief and trail him accusing him of committing corruption at the Ministry of Interior. |
