New clashes erupted among Shabwa tribes

SHABWA, July. 26 (YPA) – New confrontations erupted on Wednesday among tribes in Merkhah As Sufla district of Shabwa province, southeast of Yemen.

Tribal sources reported that violent clashes erupted between gunmen from Al-Maqarha and Hadi Al-Nasi tribes in the district, against the backdrop of a dispute over land ownership.

According to the sources, the light and medium weapons were used in the clashes.

In the middle of this month, Saudi Arabia had formed a component under the name of the Shabwa Tribes Alliance, with the goal of breaking the hegemony of the Emirates in light of the escalation of al-Qaeda attacks on the UAE-backed factions’ military sites in the province.
