clashes erupted between Islah members and the Southern Transitional Council gunmen following a demonstration in Azan Shabwa province
Local sources said that dozens of supporters of the Emirati-backed Southern Transitional Council march through the streets of the city of Azan to demand the return of the Shabwani Elite – the armed faction of the Council.
The source pointed out that the Islah members in security force shoot the demonstrators, which prompted tribal gunmen were part of the march to respond.
The clashes dispersed the demonstration at the beginning. The death toll was not known.
The Transitional council is trying to show his strength in Shabwa after losing the province last month after clashes with Islah.
