Al-Sabiha tribes threaten with confronting coalition forces near Bab al-Mandab
LAHJ, Jul. 31 (YPA) – Al-Sabiha tribes on Saturday called for all their sons to gather tomorrow, Sunday, to the Ras Al-Ara area, west of the southern Lahj province, in rejection of the extremist groups funded by the Saudi-led coalition.
The Al-Sabiha tribes confirmed that the tribal mobilization comes as a rejection of the camps that include thousands of extremist Salafist groups under the so-called “Al-Yemen Al-Saeed Brigades”, and the marginalization that affected the sons of Al-Sabiha over the past years.
The tribes accused the leadership of the coalition of creating problems between the sons of Al-Sabiha through the racial and regional distribution of brigades.
They threatened with confronting these brigades, cutting off the coastal road in front of the coalition forces, and purging their areas of coalition forces “at any cost.”
The villages of the Al-Sabiha tribes in the areas of Al-Madhariba and Ras al-Ara are overlooking the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE have worked to strengthen the presence of extremist Salafist groups in those areas, within the so-called “Al-Yemen Al-Saeed Brigades”, funded by Saudi Arabia, to be similar to the “Al-Amaliqa Brigades” funded by the UAE in the western coast.
