Islah Party stipulates dismissal of Shabwa governor to accept Al-Alimi’s decisions

SHABWA, Aug. 09 (YPA) – Military commanders loyal to Islah Party in Ataq city stipulated the dismissal of the governor of Shabwa appointed by the Saudi-led coalition, Awadh Al-Wazir al-Awlaqi, to accept the decisions of the Riyadh-formed Presidential Council to dismiss them.

Sources said that the dismissed military commanders, whose forces control most of the city of Ataq, rejected the decisions of Presidential Council’s president, Rashad Al-Alimi, to dismiss them and considered him biased towards the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC).

The Islah military and security leaders held the governor responsible for the clashes in Ataq.

The sources added that military and special security forces loyal to Islah continue to deploy in Ataq, despite the issuance of decisions to dismiss its commanders.

Al-Alimi issued decisions to dismiss the commander of the Ataq axis, the commander of the 30th Brigade, Uzair Nasser Al-Atiqi, the commander of the Special Security Forces in Shabwa, Abd Rabbo La’kab, and those affiliated with the Islah Party.
