| [AnNahar] Dozens of Yemeni Iranian catspaws and pro-government fighters have been killed in festivities in several southern provinces as Saudi-led coalition aircraft targeted the Iran-backed murderous Moslems, military officials said Saturday. Fierce festivities raged in the areas of Al-Zaher and Thi al-Naem in Baida province between Houthis and Popular Resistance fighters allied with forces loyal to President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, tribal sources said. The festivities overnight left 19 rebels and 14 Popular Resistance fighters dead, according to tribal and medical sources. Gun battles also flared up in Al-Madaribah in southwestern Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... on the border between 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 and Taez provinces, leaving an unknown number of fighters killed and maimed, military sources said. Southern fighters said they were defending the area against rebels trying to reach the shores of the strategic Bab al-Mandab strait, some 50 kilometers (30 miles) away, which was seized by loyalists last month. The narrow waterway, which separates Yemen from Djibouti, funnels shipping to and from the Suez Canal in the northern Red Sea. Witnesses said that many residents fled the area due to heavy fighting. Warplanes from a Saudi-led coalition raided positions of Huthis and allied renegade troops loyal to ousted president President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it... , military officials said. The air strikes destroyed rebel vehicles in the central Ibb province, close to Daleh, which was seized by pro-government forces along with four other southern provinces earlier this year. |
