Activists circulated on social media footage showing the UAE-backed militias looting equipment and furniture from the branch of the Electricity Corporation’s office in the Socotra archipelago.

At the end of August, members of the STC’s militias and the head of the Khalifa Foundation looted generators from the Electricity Corporation of Socotra.
