Gunmen cut off main road in Ataq city

SHABWA, Sept. 30 (YPA) – Tribal gunmen cut off on Saturday the road linking the city of Ataq, the provincial capital of Shabwa, to Bayhan city due to tribal confrontations.

Local sources said that the armed confrontations took place between Al-Hadi Al-Nassin and Al-Magarha tribes in Dhalaimein Harshfan area until Markha areas in the same province.

The sources indicated that armed tensions between tribes hindered the movement of travelers among districts, amid warnings to citizens to avoid traveling on the road in order to preserve their lives.

The tribal revenge has become systematic with the support and funding of the leaders of the factions loyal to the coalition in the various southern provinces.
