A number of soldiers and officers carried out a protest in an escalation program so as to pay their salaries for four years.
The protest also came amid their demands to join in the army forces in Taiz province, they were kicked out by the Taiz Military Axis, loyal to the Brotherhood as 'being old soldiers'.
One of the officers who took part in the protest said that they joined the Popular Resistance at the beginning of the war against the Houthi coup. The Islah party prevented them from receiving ammunition and support. They were returned to their homes because the Military Axis ignored their demands.
He added that the army of Ali Mohsen was absorbed in Marib and even in Taiz, including Sadiq Sarhan and Khalid Fadel, for example, while those who are belonging to the rest of the army and military units have been refused for not belonging to the Islah Party.
He pointed out that Ali Mohsen repeats the crime of the demobilization of the South Army after 1994, where more than 15,000 soldiers and security men were demobilized and replaced by elements of the Islah Party under the pretext of that they were part of the army established by Ali Abdullah Saleh's regime even though they declared their supporting for the Legitimacy and their willingness to fight against the militias from the first days of Resistance.
Sources told NewsYemen that the former governor of Taiz was working to restore about 19,000 soldiers and security men of the people of Taiz who were demobilized from the army and security by the Islah Party.
Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar strongly stood against the moves of Amin Mahmoud, and the first started to work to fire the second out of his office as a governor. Amin Mahmoud was ousted due to his insistence to return soldiers and former security men, although they never fought side by side the militias at all.
The sources added that Mahmoud had prepared a file of more than 11,500 soldiers and 7500 security men to be returned to service in Taiz were arbitrarily removed and replaced by the militias of Popular Crowd belonging to the Brotherhood and supported by Doha.
