Pro-Hadi governor of Socotra warns UAE forces

SOCOTRA, May 23 (YPA) – Governor of Socotra Island province, appointed by the exiled Hadi, on Thursday warned the UAE occupation militia against interference in the local authority affairs in the province.

The governor accused the UAE occupation militias of carrying out suspicious agendas that do not serve the country and destabilize the public tranquility, stressing the need to activate the security and military services to play its role in maintaining the security and stability of Socotra society and its social fabric.

At a celebration on the 29th anniversary of the unification of Yemen on May 22, 1990, the governor said that the local authority would not accept any military formations or security belts and elites on the island.

The UAE/Saudi occupation continues its efforts to bring the island of Socotra into chaos and fighting like other Yemeni southern provinces.

The exiled Hadi government in early May accused the UAE of sending more than 100 troops to the island.
