Taiz, Newsyemen, Qasim Ahmed:

The sky of the city of Taiz was covered with thick smoke rising from the tires after gunmen burned it and blocked the streets of the city, which has been besieged by the Houthi militia for 5 years.

Armed men closed the streets of Al-Hasab, Wadi Al-Qadi, Jamal, Al-Dhabab and Al-Muroor, and residents were unable to access public markets to buy their food and medicine needs.

The gunmen are soldiers in the Taiz axis army brigades, they protested to demand the handing out of perpetrators who killed one of their colleagues yesterday, but the police and security forces were unable to stop these appearances that spread terror and fear among the residents.

Social media activists held the Taiz axis, military brigades and the police fully responsible for the security instability in Taiz and its inability to contain the protests of its soldiers, who resort to disrupting the interests of the simple and harm public property.

The city's streets turned into an escalating volcano, with flames and fumes covering the city skyline, accompanied by a heavy spread of gunmen according to the activist Ramiz Al-Sharhi.

Al-Sharhi says that what is happening today in the streets of the city of Taiz is a sufficient message for the leadership of the Axis and its elites to seek to impose a strong balance instead of going to set off a conflict in Al-Hujariyah, pointing out that hundreds of people from other regions were killed and their cases ended in the Abu Jarr file in the shelves of the prosecution offices and the killer is free in the offices of the leaders.

Activist Mohamed Nasser Mohamed surprised the deficit of 4 brigade and Axis forces, the military police, security and rescue, in the ability to secure an area exceeding 17 kilometers from the liberated city.

In turn, the journalist, Sami Numan, considered the mentality that runs Taiz to be a bandit mentality and has nothing to do with the state or statesmen, as all the streets are blocked and gunfire sounds from time to time to intimidate those who try to cross.

He added that the local and military leaders of Taiz are fit to be men of all disappointments, denials, real estate and brokers, but that being a thousand and a million statesmen is impossible.

Numan criticized the Axis Commander, who is enthusiastic about implementing the President’s decision by force to impose a Commander of the 35th Armored Brigade, while the city has been in chaos, and has not even been able for months to do anything against a prisoner who was killed in the dungeon, meters away from his office.
