Four Killed, Several Injured in Tribal Festivities in Abyan
2010-11-10
[Yemen Post] Four people were killed and several others maimed in separate incidents of violence in Lauder of Abyan province on Monday, local media reported.

An armed clash erupted between the Al-Damani and Al-Mejhez tribes, the same sources said, adding that the government had chosen and intended to keep silent about the incident.

Unusual tribal groups in the region have long clashed in disputes over land and the tribal violence had proved especially deadly, with many people killed and many others injured since 2005, according to the same sources.

Observers warned that without urgent intermediation to end Dire Revenge™ festivities in
Yemen, the country would suffer a crucial disaster.

To solve these conflicts effectively requires an ability to understand Yemen's law and an awareness and respect for the cultural and inter-generational divides that characterize the disputes, according to lawyer Mohammed Naji Allaw, Chairman of the National Organization for Defending Rights and Freedoms (HOOD).

He said that those disputes are special because their cultural, social, and historical components often play singularly important roles, with roots that extend back many decades.
