Leader of the popular resistance in Al-Mahrah province,Sheikh Ali Al-Harizi, said on Tuesday that the peace in Al-Mahrah for two years has moved to the stage of armed conflict against Saudi Arabia after raids by Saudi Apache helicopters.
In an interview with YemenNet, Al-Harizi confirmed that the sons of Mahrah are at war with the Saudi occupation forces, which he said has violated the sovereignty of Yemen and usurping the province’s outlets, airport, port and camps.
He pointed out that the peaceful movement and legal demands have not been understood, which forced them to enter the stage of armed conflict after storming the border port of Shahan and bombing citizens defending their land and the sovereignty of their country by Saudi Apache helicopters.
On February 17, Saudi Apache helicopters bombed a peaceful gathering of the sons of al-Mahrah near Port of Shahan, while intercepting Saudi armoured vehicles that were on their way to storm the border port.
