Marib, NewsYemen, Private:
For more than 48 hours, the city of Marib was plunged into complete darkness, as a result of the interruption of electrical power transmission lines from the Safer gas station to the transformational stations in the city, due to the clashes that took place in Damashqa.
The clashes erupted after an attempt by forces belonging to the commander of the Fifth Battalion in the Presidential Protection Brigades, Brotherhood Saeed bin Maili, to create a military site on private land belonging to the Damashqa tribe.
Tribal mediation succeeded in stopping the violent clashes that left about 30 dead and wounded, in conjunction with directives from the President of the Presidential Leadership Council to the Minister of Defense to form a commission to investigate the events, with a decision to move the headquarters of the bin Maili Brigade to another location.
These trends were welcomed by the Damashqa tribe, in a statement explaining the background of the case, stressing that the land is one of the tribe’s property, and effective tribal rulings have already been issued on it by Sheikh Ali bin Hussein bin Gharib.
The statement expressed its astonishment at the Brotherhood's "Bin Maili" effort to create a camp in the area with an estimated area of 36,000 square meters and buildings estimated at hundreds of housing units "on the pretext of housing a battalion of the Presidential Guard of no more than 100 people and next to the largest camp for the displaced inhabited by more than ten thousand displaced families." , according to the statement.
It pointed out that the properties of the Brotherhood's bin Maili are located near the area where he intended to set up the camp, "and it is better for him to reside in his own property and not in the property of others if his intentions were sound, and this in itself raises many questions", alluding to the fact that the matter is a process of laying on the lands of the tribe using army weapons.
This description, which the tribe’s statement alludes to, recalls the violent confrontations that took place in Al-Jawf governorate last week between the Houthi militia and the Dahm tribes, after the militias attempted to rob the tribe’s lands estimated at 70,000 square meters near the governorate’s capital, Al-Jawf, which reflects the size of the match in behavior between the two groups.
