Transitional council accuses Islah party of thwarting Jeddah’s consultations

ADEN, Oct. 12 (YPA) – The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council on Saturday accused the Saudi-backed Islah Party of trying to derail consultations between the council and Hadi’s government in the Saudi city of Jeddah.

One of the council’s leaders called Jamal bin Attaf said that the military reinforcements dispatched by the Islah Party’s military leader Ali Mohsen al-Ahmer to Shoqra city of Abyan province “is evidence of the party’s attempt to thwart Jeddah dialogue.”

He explained that Islah militias had sent 20 military patrols from Marib province to the city of Shoqra, which – as he said – confirms their pursuit of undermining the advanced steps in the Jeddah consultations.

Attaf stressed “the transitional council will not stand silent towards these provocations and will take urgent measures to stop the reinforcements.”
