Official: Saudi occupation forces brought terrorist organizations to Maharah

MAHRAH, Oct. 7 (YPA) – Top leader in the peaceful sit-in committee in Mahrah province said that the Saudi occupation forces have brought terrorism to the province .

The deputy head of the committee, “Abboud Haboud Qumsit,” confirmed in a tweet, “Throughout history, there was no foothold for any terrorist groups in Mahrah, except after the occupation of Saudi Arabia.”

Qumsait accused Saudi Arabia of using the terrorism card to achieve its interests after its failure to prove the allegations of smuggling and distort the image of Mahrah’s people in front of international opinion, stressing that the Mahri will not accept any terrorist groups.

Last Friday, a military source affiliated with the Saudi forces in Mahrah claimed that the security and military agencies had seized terrorist cells in Al-Ghaydah city, the capital of the governorate, indicating that “the operation was successful in controlling terrorist cells after the killing of three of them and the arrest of the other individuals.”

Activists and politicians emphasized that Saudi Arabia is trying to consolidate its presence in Mahrah under the banner of combating terrorism, even though the province does not know terrorism.

They pointed out that the popular rejection Mahrah embarrassed Saudi Arabia, which revealed the goal of its military presence, which is to implement an occupation agenda that is dangerous to Yemeni sovereignty.

The head of the sit-in committee in the Directorate of Shihan, Hamid Zabnout, confirmed that talking about Al-Qaeda in Mahrah was the last of the Saudi occupation plots to market itself internationally.

He added that Saudi Arabia is seeking, through Al Qaeda, to legalize its presence in the governorate, and to build secret prisons for targeting the people of Mahrah.

Also the popular rejection of the Saudi occupation continues in Mahrah, demanding that it leave the governorate and Yemen completely.
