Shabwa, Newsyemen, private:

The Shabwa tribes condemned the Brotherhood's attacks on the Nisab district and the use of the people of the governorate in the confrontations in the Shabwa governorate.

The tribes condemned what the forces loyal to the Islah Party are doing in pushing for military reinforcements from the people of the province and the surrounding areas to confront the people of Nassab.

On Saturday and Monday, the Nisab District in Shabwa Governorate, southeast, witnessed the most violent confrontations since the outbreak of clashes between elements loyal to the Islah Party on the one hand, and the tribes of the Directorate on the other hand.

Local sources told "Newsyemen" that at least five civilians from one family, including two children and a woman, were wounded by a mortar shell fired by the Muslim Brotherhood on their house located in the "Koura" area in the center of the Nisab district.

The battles in which various types of light, medium and heavy weapons were used around the government compound of the directorate where the special forces are stationed, while the government forces deployed many military points at the entrance to the city.

Sources revealed that the pro-Islah forces pushed tanks and armored vehicles in an attempt to resolve the battle.

Tribal gunmen belonging to the Nisab, Laqmosh, Jardan and al-Muhafed tribes carry out attacks and ambushes against forces heading to the fighting fronts in Abyan, and as a result there are major losses of equipment and lives.

The direct confrontations in the Nisab district come after the end of a tribal deadline for Islah last week, which ruled out the forces loyal to it and handing over the killers of the martyr Talal Eriq Al-Dyouli, who was killed at the end of the month of Ramadan by the bullets of the so-called special forces.
