Because of royalties, tanker runs over STC militia member in Aden

ADEN, March 03 (YPA) – A member of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) militia was run over by a heavy cargo tanker in the city of Aden, southern Yemen.

Eyewitnesses reported that a dispute arose between the driver of the truck carrying a container of goods and a STC militia member named “Ramses Mahfouz Awad” against the background of imposing royalties, which led to a fistfight, and then the driver boarded the truck to run over the STC recruit, earlier this week.

The truck driver Mubarak Muhammad Salih al-Naqash, 28, from Amran province, ran over the recruit after the latter prevented the truck from leaving the point without paying a large amount, without specifying the amount, according to local sources.

The STC militia has been imposing unfair royalties on truck drivers since they left the port and throughout all military points in favor of the militia leadership in Aden, Lahj, Dhalea provinces and other areas.
