Gunmen block main roads, streets in Aden

ADEN, Oct. 30 (YPA) – Dozens of gunmen on Wednesday blocked all roads leading to the container port in Caltex area and Mualla port in the southern Yemeni province of Aden.

According to media sources, gunmen from recruits of Saudi-led coalition blocked the main roads to the two ports and prevented the exit and entry of vehicles and tankers to and from the area.

The recruits’ protest came against the backdrop of the cutoff of their allowances by the coalition countries for more than three months, the sources explained.

Hadi’s government had stopped the payment of salaries of recruits and accused military leaders in the fourth military region of not implementing orders of its defense minister in countering the UAE-backed southern transitional council militias during the armed clashes that led to the latter’s control of the city of Aden last August.
