Seven Die, More Wounded in Tribal Clashes |
2010-08-24 |
![]() The clashes started on Friday and are still continuing until Saturday evening, according to the same sources. Information about the death toll of today's clashes is still unknown. Locals from Amran province urged the Yemen's authorities to intervene to stop the fighting between the two sides, something they say once the government has not intervened they would respond to the aggressions of Hajah tribe. To solve these conflicts effectively requires an ability to understand Yemen's law and an awareness and respect for the cultural and inter-generational divides that characterize the disputes, according to lawyer Mohammed Naji Allaw, Chairman of the National Organization for Defending Rights and Freedoms (HOOD). He said that those disputes are special because their cultural, social, and historical components often play singularly important roles, with roots that extend back many decades. |
