Clashes between mercenaries and local farmers claim several lives in Mocha

The town of Mocha, which is under the control of mercenary leader Tariq Saleh, had witnessed violent clashes on Wednesday, leaving several people dead and injured.

Sources pointed out that farmers tried to take control over a number of buildings, but failed as the UAE-backed militias confronted them and forced them to withdraw.

The farmers demanded compensations for their lands that they claimed are being looted by the mercenaries, one of the sources said.
