Shabwa, Newsyemen:

A military source responsible for the governorate of Shabwa governorate, which is affiliated with the Brotherhood, Muhammad Salih Adiyo, has revealed a deal costing 600,000 Saudis from the province’s revenues in exchange for buying 3 tanks to reinforce the arsenal of the recently opened Islah Party camps.

The source told "Newsyemen " that the agreement was concluded last week between Adiyo and Brotherhood leaders in the Beihan axis to buy 3 tanks from tribal figures in the Ain district of the province.

The price of buying each tank was 200,000 Saudi riyals, and according to the source, Brotherhood leaders in Beihan oversaw the transfer of the tanks to the city of Ataq, the center of Shabwa province, and one of them was subjected to an accident in the Najd area in the past two days.

The tanks are considered to be among the looting inflicted upon the 19th Infantry Brigade Camp 2015, during the Houthi coup, and tribesmen were able to seize heavy weapons.

The tanks deal was met with widespread dissatisfaction, and residents of Shabwa considered it a precursor to a series of violations that the Brotherhood’s militia is preparing to bomb villages with heavy weapons, as happened in the Habban, Nissab, Jardan, and Mayfa'a districts.


The circles denounced the process of manipulating public money by the authorities of Bin Adiyo and wasting it in favor of purely Brotherhood party goals and influence in light of the need for basic services lost and deprived of them for many months.

In addition, violent clashes erupted between tribal militants, on Sunday, in the city of Ataq, against the background of the killing of a citizen caused by old revolutions.

Local sources said that Yasser Al-Baajri bin Maidh Al-Khulaifi, a member of the Ataq district, was killed in Al-Khadra market by gunmen from the Al-Sham tribe who immediately fled the crime.

Subsequently, the victim's family pushed with gunmen what caused violent clashes in the Kribiya area of the Ataq district, in which various light and medium weapons were used between the Al-Moaidh and the Shamet tribe.

According to the sources, the cause of the killing is due to a tribal revenge before 16 years ago between the tribes of Al-Shamet and al-Mu’id.

Shabwa has witnessed unprecedented security since the militias' control of the province, and the proliferation of revenge, interruption, bullying, and armed phenomena.
