On the other hand, tribes from Dahm, whose areas are under the control of the coalition forces, during the past hours, closed roads leading from the city of Ma’rib in protest against the killing of two of their sons by the military police forces affiliated with Islah party, during the past days.
The tribe’s militants intend to prevent the passage of oil and gas tankers through their areas until Islah authority handed over the perpetrators who fled to the city, in addition to releasing the power of attorney for oil and gas derivatives to the Dahm tribes within 24 hours, according to the sources.
The sources pointed to the crisis between the sheikhs of Dahm tribes, which entered the front line with the Islah authorities in Ma’rib, at the behest of political and military leaders loyal to the UAE.
Most of the sheikhs of Dahm free tribes in Jawf have declared their allegiance to the Sana’a government, after they become aware of the coalition’s malice destructive project, which is targeting Yemen, destroying its economy and plundering its oil and gas wealth ,in addition to throwing tribesmen to achieve its interests at the expense of the Yemeni people.
