| [HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] During the early hours of Friday, button men loyal to Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... imposed their control over many military points and locations belonging to the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC)’s militia in the coastal strip leading to the city of Aden, west of restive Lahj ... a Yemeni governate located in the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. It is the stomping grounds on the southern secessionist al-Harak movement province. According to media sources, the button men of al-Subaiha tribes, reinforced by the forces of the so-called Shield of the Nation , (Dera al-Watan) factions funded by Saudi Arabia, clashed with the STC’s "Security Belt" militia on the coastal road in the areas of Madhariba and Ras al-Ara districts, near Bab al-Mandab Strait, and forced them to leave their military positions. The sources pointed out that al-Subaiha rustics took control of a number of points belonging to the "STC" militia and seized a number of military vehicles and equipment, indicating that Saudi directives ruled to hand over those areas to the forces supervised by Tariq Affash. The sources stated that Saudi Arabia took advantage of the hostility between al-Subaiha rustics and the STC’s leaders of due to repeated violations against the tribes of al-Subaiha and fueled it by creating a military force from al-Subaiha, and presenting them to the arena as a parallel force and against the people of Dhalea. The sources confirmed that the recruitment of al-Subaiha rustics and their funding from Saudi Arabia is a military step to besiege the STC from the northwestern side of the city of Aden, and in the same context worked to finance military brigades from the sons of Abyan ...a governorate of Yemen. The region was a base to the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army terrorist group until it dropped the name and joined al-Qaeda. Its capital is Zinjibar. In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an Islamic Emirateafter seizing control of the region. The New York Times fastidiously reported that those in control, while Islamic hard boyz, are not in fact al-Qaeda, but something else that looks, tastes, smells, and acts the same. Yemeni government forces launched an effort to re-establish control of the region when President-for-Life Saleh was tossed and the carnage continues... to tighten their control over the eastern gate of Aden. This comes after the Saudi-led coalition handover of al-Anad base to "Dera al-Watan Forces", which are supervised by "Tariq Affash" and funded by Saudi Arabia. They were trained during the past months on the west coast. The Saudi Ministry of Defense summoned about 17 tribal sheikhs from al-Subaiha to Riyadh last month, and entrusted them with the task of expelling the STC militia from Madhariba and Ras al-Ara districts, west of Lahj province. |
