[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Armed festivities erupted on Sunday between two tribes after the killing of a citizen in the center of Ataq city, the provincial city of Shabwah province, eastern Yemen...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
, on the background of a tribal vendetta.
Local sources in the city said that tribal button men belonging to ’Al Abdullah bin Daha’ tribe shot a citizen named Bin al-Matnoun al-Marzqi from ’Al-Marazeeq’ tribe in Hunish Street, near the residence of the province’s governor loyal to the Saudi-led coalition, Awad Bin al-Wazir, and killed him on the spot.
Violent festivities broke out following al-Marzqi’s killing between gunnies of the two tribes in the al-Mawtana area near Ataq, according to the sources.
This comes as the UAE-affiliated factions have been stripping Shabwah rustics of their personal weapons since last week, in a proactive step to limit any tribal moves against the factions recruited from Dhalea and Yafea areas.
