Islah prevents angry demonstration in Shabwa

SHABWA, Oct. 28 (YPA) – Saudi-backed Islah’s “special forces” prevented on Thursday an angry demonstration held by dozens of citizens in Shabwa province, eastern Yemen.

Dozens of Mayfa’a citizens demanded protest rallies to condemn the deterioration of services and the high prices, calling on Islah authorities to leave the province.

Earlier in the day, Islah gunmen moved to cordon off the city, all the way to the demonstrators’ gathering square, and prevented citizens from holding the rally.
