Transitional Militias loyal to the UAE have blocked the road linking the governorates of Abyan and Aden, in front of heavy trucks and tankers.

Informed sources said that elements of the “Al-Najda” militia affiliated with the Transitional Council blocked the road in Al-Mahfad district in Abyan, in protest against the failure to pay their salaries by the government of the mercenary Bin Mubarak for the third month in a row.

The sources indicated that dozens of tankers and trucks are parked on the side of the road, amidst the refusal to allow drivers to pass until their financial dues are paid.

The Transitional Militias’ siege of their main stronghold comes amid a terrifying living collapse in the areas under the control of the government loyal to the Saudi-Emirati occupation, with the cessation of salary payments and the collapse of the national currency.

Abyan Governorate is witnessing acts of robbery, looting, and murder, as gunmen killed a citizen in cold blood.

Local sources said that gunmen shot a citizen while he was passing on Al-Hadn Road in Lawdar district, which led to his immediate death.

In a related context, local sources reported the killing of a Yemeni expatriate named Anwar Mansour Abdo Yahya, while returning to the city of Taiz, which is under the control of the militias loyal to the Saudi-Emirati occupation, after he was intercepted by unknown persons, who stole his car and belongings before proceeding to kill him.

On a separate note, a massive fire broke out in the “Miklan” camp for displaced persons in Khanfar District in Abyan Governorate, resulting in the burning and destruction of dozens of displaced persons’ homes and the displacement of 130 families, according to local officials.

Media sources explained that the fire was caused by an electrical short circuit, and spread quickly due to the nature of the building materials used in the homes, which rely heavily on straw and wood.

They described the situation as tragic, stressing that the fire completely destroyed the displaced persons’ homes and their belongings, including furniture, food and personal belongings.

They added that the affected families are now homeless, sleeping on the ground and taking cover under the sky, in light of the harsh weather conditions witnessed by the winter season.

They stressed that the suffering of the displaced is exacerbated by the severe shortage of food and medicine, and the cessation of relief and humanitarian support from donor organizations.
