Tribesmen continue to block road between Taiz, Lahj

TAIZ, March 7 (YPA) – Gunmen of al-Sabayha and al-Wazeiyah tribes on Thursday continued to block the main road between Taiz and Lahj provinces for the third day in a row.

This move by the two tribes came in protest against attacking a wedding hall filled with women by militias loyal to Saudi-led coalition in Wadi al-Qadi of Taiz city on Tuesday.

The tribes issued a statement to clarify the reality of the wedding hall events, in which one of sheikhs of al-Sabayha, his wife, a soldier and a bus driver were killed and several others injures.

The statement demanded the security committee in the province to take full responsibility for arresting the perpetrators and bringing them to justice.
