Emirati alert in Socotra to confront Saudi incursion

SOCOTRA, June 05 (YPA) – The UAE forces and the Southern Transitional Council (STC)’s militia carried out unprecedented deployment in a number of streets in the city of Hadibo in the occupied Island of Socotra, and set up several new checkpoints, Media sources reported.

This coincided with the return of Islah to show off  in Socotra, by organizing a meeting of the party’s Shura Committee, amid news of a Saudi green light, to re-enable it on the island.

The sources explained that the Emirati alert in Socotra comes within the framework of confronting the return of the Saudi incursion through Islah, similar to the Shabwa scenario, where Riyadh seeks to spread its factions under the cover of the party.

Earlier, Saudi Arabia pushed the former governor of Socotra, Ramzi Mahrous, to the island, as part of arrangements to prepare the atmosphere and find a foothold on the strategic island.
