Shabwa witnesses angry demonstration rejecting decision to dismiss governor

SHABWA, Dec. 24 (YPA) – Thousands of people demonstrated on Friday in Ataq city, the capital of Shabwa province, eastern Yemen, in rejection of the Saudi-led coalition’s decision to dismiss the governor, Mohammed Saleh bin Adyo.

The demonstrators raised pictures of the governor, bin Adyo, amid chants of demanding the departure of the coalition, considering the prevention of bin Adyo’s return to Ataq as a blatant interference with the work of the local authority in Shabwa.

The participants in the demonstration, called by Shabwa activists, refused the dismissal of bin Adyo, warning that would be drawn into the dismantling of the social fabric in the province.
