Over 500 armed tribesmen crowd in Sayoun city of Hadramout

HADRAMOUT, Jun. 01 (YPA) – Al-Saya’r tribes of Hadramout province, eastern Yemen, on Tuesday pushed with hundreds of their gunmen to Sayoun city, the center of Hadramout valley.

Tribal sources stated that the Al-Saya’r tribes mobilized about 500 armed men on board a tribal convoy against the backdrop of the killing of two of their sons, including the former head of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) branch in Al-Abr district, Salem Al-Saya’ri, on Friday during his visit to Hadramout valley, while the other was killed in Al-Qatn city.

The sources indicated that the tribes will present the crimes that affected their sons to the new director of security, Abdullah bin Hobeish al-Saya’ri, who belongs to the tribe.

The STC accuses Islah Party militants in the “First Military Region” of being behind the crimes that affect the people of Hadramout, amid calls for their expulsion from the province.
