| 2002-07-16 |
| Fighting between Al-Mothana and al-Musaid tribes in Bani Awn area, al-Mekhlaf-Sharaab in Taiz governorate revived and resulted in two deaths of young men; Ammar Abdu Mosaid, 18 and Saeed Bin Saeed Hatem, 29. Sheikh Awn al-Mekhlafi said this fight is the latest of a sequence of battles dating back five years for old revenges between the two families. Security sources revealed that the cause of the fighting was a simple dispute that erupted between the two sides and developed to a fight that resulted in five deaths and a large number of wounded from both sides. Army forces from Taiz were sent to the area following the fighting and arrested a number of people in an attempt to stop the fighting but in vain. The people of the area had asked the Ministry of Interior and the Anti Revenge Committee of the Shoura Council to interfere and put an end to this problem before it is too late. Tell me the benefits of anarchy again? I keep forgetting... |
