| [HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] At least two citizens were killed and another maimed in gunfire in front of a cop shoppe affiliated with factions loyal to the Saudi-led coalition forces in Ataq city, the center of Shabwah province, eastern 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... According to local sources in the city, one of the button men, believed to belong to the "Shabwah Defense" factions, opened fire on the citizens while they were in a "cafeteria" for selling juices near the headquarters of the security department in the province, leaving two dead and one maimed, on the background of a tribal revolt between the ’Al Nasser’ and ’Rubiz’ tribes in al-Awaleq. The sources confirmed that the button men managed to flee to an unknown destination, and no action was taken to chase them by the factions loyal to the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC). Shabwah has been witnessing an unprecedented insecurity state and chaos due to the spread of pro-coalition factions since the beginning of 2016 in several districts to fuel tribal conflicts by disbursing money and weapons to ensure the achievement of the interests of the coalition. |
