directed its button men to impose their control over the service facilities following the arrival of the Saudi ambassador to the government loyal to the Saudi-led coalition, Muhammad Al Jaber, to the city at the end of last week, in conjunction with the arrival of military reinforcements to the city, including cycle of violences, coming from the border crossing at al-Wadea.

With this step, Aden has entered a new phase of the struggle over vital facilities between the Saudi and Emirati factions.

It is worth mentioning that Saudi Arabia flew back hundreds of conscripts from Aden last month after they received intensive courses in its camps in the Tabuk region, in the north of the Kingdom, to secure the important vital installations in the city of Aden.

The Dera al-Watan factions tightened their control over the major districts of Aden, "Al-Shaab," after they deployed along the coastal road overlooking Bab al-Mandab, from Madhareba and Ras al-Ara areas in restive Lahj

province, all the way to al-Buriqa area in Aden at the end of last December.
