Pro-coalition Marib tribes withdraw its fighters from frontlines

MARIB, April 05 (YPA) – Murad and Abaida tribes loyal to the Saudi-led coalition in Marib province have decided to withdrew its fighters from all battle fronts in the province.

According to sources familiar with the matter, the tribal groups from Murad and Abaidah tribes, led by Major General Mufreh Baheeh Al-Mouradi, withdrew from their positions at al-Tala Al Hamra front, northwest of the city of Marib.

The withdrawal came due to the refusal of the coalition forces and al-Qaeda members to leave the displaced camps that they used as human shields, the sources added.
