Laqmush Al-Himyari tribe announced, on Monday, holding an emergency meeting next Thursday in the Al-Aram area in the Habban district of Shabwah governorate.
The meeting is a clear escalation in the confrontation with the Southern Transitional Council, after the expiry of a deadline granted to the UAE-affiliated governor of Shabwah, Awad bin Al-Wazir, and to the head of the Southern Transitional Council (STC)’s branch in the governorate, Lahmar Ali Lasud, based on the outcomes of the meeting held at the end of last August.
Laqmush tribes are heading towards armed escalation by blocking the road in Shabwah in the coming days after giving the STC a number of opportunities to release her sons since the last meeting in Al-Aram, which witnessed wide participation of Shabwah tribes.
