Sharp disagreements erupt among coalition leaders in Marib

MARIB, Oct. 23 (YPA) – Sharp disagreements were erupted on Saturday among military leaders of the Saudi-led coalition in city of Marib, sources familiar with the matter said.

The sources affirmed that millions of Saudi currency, which the coalition paid to the leaders of the Juba Front, ignited the conflict between Hussein al-Halisi, the director of criminal investigation at the Islah authorities, and the commander of the 143rd Infantry Brigade, Dhiab al-Qibli.

The sources explained that the coalition failed to manage the military battle against the army forces of the National Salvation Government in Sanaa, after spending 50 million Saudi riyals during the past days to buy sheikhs and tribes of Jabal Murad district of Marib.

According to the sources, al-Qibli leader is preparing to leave Marib towards Cairo to receive treatment and conduct medical examinations due to the deterioration of his health.
