Tihama Brigades threaten violent retaliation against UAE-backed troops in Taiz

The Saudi-funded organisation known as the “Tihama Brigades” have on Thursday vowed to storm the UAE-funded Republican Guard camps led by Tariq Afash in Mocha city, in the west of Taiz province.

The Tihama Resistance and the Tihama Movement demanded, in a statement Thursday, the immediate release of leader of the Tihama Movement and director of the transportation office in the city of Mocha, Rafiq Doma, after he was kidnapped from his office Wednesday and taken to a secret prison in the city.

The statement threatened with military escalation against the forces of Tariq Afash on the western coast, stressing that the Tihama Brigades would not accept what it described as “continuous insults” by the forces of Tariq Afash.

The Brigades vowed to kidnap officers and commanders of the Republican Guard in retaliation, if they refuse to release Doma.
