Aden: Shalal Shaya deploys his troops in Sheikh Othman district

ADEN, Jun. 30 (STC) – Forces belonging to the senior commander in the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) Shalal Shaya were stationed in the security belt camp in Sheikh Othman directorate in Aden province in southern Yemen, about a week after the forces of this camp engaged in fierce clashes with the forces of the 3rd Brigade support, which leads Nabil Al-Mashushi.

This was reported by Yemen News portal, based on local sources.

The sources said that the Shalal Shaya forces, who arrived at the camp from Dhalea, were supporting Karam al-Mashreqi’s forces.

The sources added that the conflict for influence between the military leaders of the STC involved – Yafea escalated significantly, especially after the decisions of STC president Aydros Zubeidi, who reduced the influence of Yafea leaders, on behalf of the axis of Radfan, Dhalea.

About a month ago, Shalal was appointed as the commander of counter-terrorism forces, according to a decision issued by Zubeidi

Last Wednesday, sheikh Othman witnessed bloody clashes between units of the security belt factions , in which medium and light weapons were used, resulting in the death and injury of 25 people.

According to the sources, al-Mashreqi’s support came ahead of any decision by security belt commander Mohsen al-Wali, a good friend of al-Mashushi, to dismiss Karam al-Mashreqi.
