| [HODHODYEMENNEWS] Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... on Monday summoned its most powerful southern militia to the city of Aden, which is an indication that Saudi Arabia is heading to resolve the battle of Aden militarily, in conjunction with the escalation of tension with the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC). The commander of the Saudi forces in Aden directed the commander of the so-called the brigade of "Shield of the Homeland" to raise the state of alert and readiness to enter Aden, Southern media reported, citing sources. The directives stipulated that 5 brigades of this faction should be equipped to be deployed in the city, according to the sources. The "Shield of the Homeland" Brigade was part of the al-Amaliqa Brigade before it decided to rename its forces as "Shield of the Homeland", which is led by Bashir al-Mudrabi, loyal to Hamdi Shukri al-Subaihi, who is known for his association with Islah and loyalty to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has supported a large-scale recruitment of these forces in the southern provinces recently, specifically restive Lahj ... a Yemeni governate located in the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. It is the stomping grounds on the southern secessionist al-Harak movement , Abyan ...a governorate of Yemen. The region was a base to the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army terrorist group until it dropped the name and joined al-Qaeda. Its capital is Zinjibar. In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an Islamic Emirateafter seizing control of the region. The New York Times fastidiously reported that those in control, while Islamic hard boyz, are not in fact al-Qaeda, but something else that looks, tastes, smells, and acts the same. Yemeni government forces launched an effort to re-establish control of the region when President-for-Life Saleh was tossed and the carnage continues... and Aden. Most of the faction’s fighters belong to the hardline Salafi current, along with al-Qaeda and ISIS. It is not yet clear whether these forces, which have received training on the west coast in urban warfare, will be deployed in Aden or a Saudi attempt to pressure the STC to hand over the city and take out its factions, but the movement of this force indicates that Saudi Arabia is heading to resolve the battle of Aden militarily. |
