Al-Nashmah is the capital of the Ma’afir Directorate located between two cities and in the line linking the city of Taiz and Aden, the temporary capital of the Republic of Yemen.

The Ma’afir Directorate was the starting gate for the 35 armored brigade to open the fog line, to secure the city of Taiz, to deliver oil derivatives, and to supply hospital with oxygen in the city.

The city receives great attention, and its population is approximately one million five hundred thousand people, and it is inhabited by many displaced people fleeing the war and fighting areas, and is the main gateway to the districts of Salu, Samea, al-Mawasit and al-Shamayatayn. 

The city makes a lot of money because of the flow of goods through it and the increase in commercial traffic in it significantly.

The streets of the city of al-Nashama are piling up with garbage piles everywhere, and the scene of burning these piles by citizens became familiar, as there are no final solutions to the phenomenon of garbage on the roads and in front of government headquarters.

The trash scene has distorted the cityscape, along with the air pollution that suffocates its residents, who are inhabited by thousands of people, with diseases.

The citizens call for local authority for rapid and serious movement to end this suffocating crisis.

One of the citizens there says that the crisis of garbage collection is a chronic phenomenon that needs radical solutions to overcome it, and therefore the competent authorities should harness all the necessary capabilities to solve this problem, because it is the danger that threatens human health by spreading diseases and epidemics.

Fears of disease and epidemics

 A great concern of the city's residents from the spread of diseases and fevers, with the spread of mosquitoes that carry diseases in a large way, and in light of the complete absence of the health office in the directorate in the process of smoke spraying to combat mosquitoes carrying viruses and fever that afflict the people of the region.

fake promises

Citizens have received repeated promises to solve the problem of garbage accumulation in the streets and on the side of the road, but they are false promises without a real intention to solve this dilemma by the competent authorities.

 Great popular discontent

 Popular discontent is increasing day after day from the daily scenes of accumulating garbage in the streets and alleys. 

They describe these scenes as the nefarious and insulting scenes of the people of the city, forcing some to dispose of them by burning them, which leads to air pollution for many hours on a daily basis.

Who is responsible?

 Citizens hold the concerned authorities represented in the Cleaning and Improvement Fund fully responsible for not providing waste and drums barrels, in the provision of a new landfill for use in emergency and crisis situations.

 Appeals for definitive solutions

 The voices of the residents of the city have sought to find radical and final solutions to this serious problem without benefit for the district and its capital, the city of Al-Nashmah, due to its importance and its location linking two cities that constitute the most important liberated areas of legality, except from a fragile media presence, to break the siege on Taiz and its vast countryside that extends from land to the sea.

Al-Nashmah is not a safe passage for the transportation of goods and travelers, as the Taiz Governorate Emergency Committee announced a few days ago the closure of the Al-Misrakh Directorate, adjacent to the Ma’afir Directorate from several sides, due to the frightening spread of Coronavirus and the death of more than fifteen citizens who died without being able to obtain the simplest reasons for survival.

Cleanliness is the simplest means of control, while confrontation and confrontation require a local authority capable of creating a society that rejects these devastating outbreaks.

On the contrary, the directorate is plunged into the absence of security chaos, and the virus is spreading everywhere, which implies to a systematic targeting to paralyze the road movement between the city of Taiz and the capital Aden.
