Dozens of Islah militants rebel in Sayoun

HADRAMOUT, Nov. 15 (YPA) – Dozens of Islah-affiliated “First Military Region” militants have rebelled in the districts of Wadi Hadramout in eastern Yemen.

Local sources in the city of Sayoun confirmed that the gunmen of Islah’s “135 Infantry Brigade” cut off the road in front of the gate of the “first district” on Monday evening, demanding their salaries looted by the region’s leaders.

The sources indicated that the gunmen of the brigade closed the gate of the district command in Sayoun, demanding the departure of the so-called “pillars of the war of the region” Yahya Abu Auja, close to Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar.

This follows the demands of the UAE’s Southern Transitional Council to get Islah militants out of the Valley directorates and deploy the “Hadrami Elite” militia instead.
