Shabwa, NewsYemen, private:

Shabwa governorate witnessed a serious security escalation with two incidents targeting the Shabwa Defense Forces (formerly the Shabwani Elite) within less than 6 hours, which resulted in the killing of 5 of its members, the injury of others, and the survival of one of its leaders from an assassination attempt.

Three members of the Shabwa Defense Forces were killed and others were injured when an explosive device exploded targeting one of its crews in the Al-Sawda area, west of the capital, Ataq, followed by hours of a similar bombing operation that resulted in the killing of two soldiers and the injury of others.

According to local sources, an assassination attempt on Marouq took place a few meters from the camp and point of al-Faqqa, affiliated to the 2nd Brigade, Mountainous Infantry, led by Brotherhood Brigadier General Mahdi Mushafir, and represented one of the sites for assembling armed militias with Qatari funding in mid-2020 under the supervision of the former Minister of Transport, Saleh al-Jabwani.

The occurrence of the targeting process in this place prompted the southern politician and academic, Dr. Hussein Lakour, to question the relationship of the incidents of targeting the Shabwa Defense Forces to the threat made by al-Jabwani of a “civil war” hours before the targeting incidents.

Al-Jabwani tweeted, through his personal account on “Twitter”, about what he called “the indulgence of the transitional” and said that it “exceeded its limits,” “in exchange for the exclusion of an effective and influential southern party that protected 95% of the land of the south,” he said.

While al-Jabwani considered that this matter “does not reflect the responsibility of those in charge,” referring to the Presidential Council, and he concluded his tweet addressing it - without mentioning it - saying: If you do not change this path and give everyone his right, then the harbinger of a new civil war  looming.

Al-Jabwani’s talk about what he called “the indulgence of the transitional” and “the exclusion of an effective and influential southern party,” observers interpreted by the recent steps taken by the Presidential Council during the past week and aimed at correcting the mistakes of the previous phase of Hadi’s rule, which resulted from the control of the Brotherhood and the forces of corruption with the decision.

The first and most important of these steps is what the Shabwa governorate witnessed, from the forces of the 107th Infantry Brigade of the 3rd Military District in Ma’rib, from the forces of the 107th Infantry Brigade, the tasks of protecting and securing the Jannah oil companies and fields.

This sector is one of the largest oil fields in Yemen, and it was exporting about 40,000 barrels of oil per day before 2015, which constitutes a painful blow to the Brotherhood and its allied forces, which was explicitly expressed by the newspaper "Akhbar Al-Youm" affiliated with former Vice President Ali  red mohsin

And the newspaper published in its issue issued yesterday, Tuesday, an open letter to the President of the Presidential Council, Rashad Al-Alimi, in which it touched on several topics, and it was remarkable its rejection of the step of handing over Hunt fields to the forces of the giants, which it described as militias, and said that they “take on tasks that have nothing to do with them as much as they are a breach of the state’s function.”  and the military establishment,” she said.
