Saudi occupation in Mahrah offering large sums of money for those who join mercenary units

[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Local sources in Mahrah province, eastern Yemen, have reported that Saudi Arabia has provided financial incentives to the province's residents to encourage them to join the ''Dera Al-Watan'' factions.

This comes amidst widespread local opposition to the idea of establishing such a formation in the region.

According to the sources, Saudi Arabia has increased the amounts provided to individuals joining these factions to 1,500 Saudi riyals per month.

In comparison, individuals in other provinces like Lahj, Aden, and Hadhramaut receive approximately 1,000 riyals per month.

It was also noted that the majority of Mahrah tribes have refused to allow their members to participate in ''Dera Al-Watan,'' particularly as many of the recruits thus far belong to the Salafi movement and were brought in from outside the province.

Mahrah has been witnessing a growing popular movement opposing the foreign presence. This movement is driven by calls from the local sit-in committee, which rejects the foreign presence and condemns the establishment of these factions.
