Islah militants evacuate special forces camp after coalition’s threats to bomb it in Shabwah

SHABWAH, Jan. 01 (YPA) – The special security forces, the military arm of Islah party, evacuated their main camps in Shabwah on Saturday after Saudi-led coalition threats to bomb it.

According to local sources, a mediation led by the 21st Brigade succeeded in forcing the Islah special forces to leave the so-called  “Al-Shuhada” camp in the center of Ataq city, in preparation for his extradition to the giants forces.

In the past few days, the Giants have managed to take control of important camps, most notably Ataq airport.

The moves are part of arrangements to re-hand over the security file at Shabwah’s administrative centre to pro-UAE factions as part of post-sacking arrangements for former governor Mohammed Ben Adio.
