| Sana'a Airport Cancels Flights Due to Clashes; Yemen on Verge of Chaos |
| 2011-08-08 |
| [Yemen Post] Sana'a International Airport cancelled all its flights after hundreds of armed rustics belonging to the notorious Hashed tribe clashed with elite republican guards in the heart of the capital Sana'a forcing thousands to re evacuate Hasaba zone of Sana'a. At least six flights were cancelled Friday night and Saturday morning due to security reasons. The anti government Arhab tribes are promising to support Hashed and are threatening to takeover the airport and control all flights entering and leaving the country. Hashed has called on its gunnies to prepare for a long war against a regime that is gasping its final breath. Opposition and government tanks were suddenly stationed in main roads of the capital for the first time in months Saturday morning, eyewitnesses said. This comes as General Ali Mohsen threatened to bombard the presidential palace if his military brigade is attacked once more by the elite republican guards. General Mohsen claims that the guards attacked his compound on numerous occasions over the last 24 hours. Government sent more than 2000 of its forces in zones surrounding Hasaba, where the Hashed tribal chief lives, a security bigshot told Yemen Post. Eyewitnesses in Hasaba said that at least 2000 of its residents evacuated the zone fearing that festivities will breakout at anytime. |
