| 2010-10-27 |
| [Yemen Post] Military reinforcements arrived on Monday in the Jardan district, Shabwa, after fierce confrontations erupted between the forces and rustics demanding jobs in a South Korean petroleum company. The Alsahwa website quoted eyewitnesses as saying that heavy weapons were used in the clashes that broke out in the Fareha village, 50 km in northeast Ataq city. Tribesmen from the clans of Al Dhabab Ah, yes. The Dhoobabs of al-Dhabab... and Al Sari'a demanded the government to allocate posts in the KNOC Company for them, and when their demand was ignored they forced the Company to halt its operations, the website said. The authorities intervened after the move, "Here, you! Cease and desist!" but the rustics whipped out their shootin' arns and opened fire, triggering the festivities. There were no reports of casualties. |
