Hashem Al-Ahmar gunmen suppress military rebellion in Al-Wadeiah outlet

HADRAMOUT, April 03 (YPA) – Dozens of coalition recruits demonstrated at Al-Wadeida border crossing with Saudi Arabia demanding the release of the commander of the so-called “special missions brigade commander” detained in Riyadh prisons.

Informed military sources said that the demonstrators blocked the highway between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, demanding the release of the commander of the brigade belonging to the so-called “legitimacy”, named Ali Qamlan, who has been detained by the Saudi authorities for about two weeks.

According to the sources, Saudi Arabia has issued directives to Hashem al-Ahmar’s gunmen to suppress the protesting soldiers, disperse them and return them to their camp by force of arms.

The Saudi authorities arrested the commander of the Brigade, Ali Qamlan, between Najran and Khamis Mushait regions, last March, on charges of smuggling drugs into Saudi territory.
