The battle to liberate the Mukairas district in Al-Bayda Governorate, central Yemen, has evaporated, despite the great material and military support provided by the Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia to this front.
According to local sources, the front has become almost free from the popular resistance, after withdrawing a large part of the military equipment to reinforce the forces of the interim president, Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi, and the Islah Party, the local branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, in the coastal city of Shuqrah in the Abyan Governorate.
And confirmed the occurrence of a similar process of sharing the military arsenal, which was pushed by the Arab coalition with the aim of liberating Mukairas, from the Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen.
According to the sources, the largest part of the military force was withdrawn from the Makiras Front to reinforce the Brotherhood's militia in Shuqrah, while the rest of the military hardware fell into the hands of the Houthis.
Sources indicated that the commander of the Arab coalition forces in Aden, Brigadier General Mujahid al-Otaibi, visited "Makiras" earlier and spent a long time arranging to liberate the area, but that the process evaporated, due to the withdrawal of military equipment and its transfer to Shuqrah.
