In Al-Dhalea, there is no longer any room to talk about education and health, development and investment, as the time was all consumed by bullets, explosions, angry marches, insurrections, and other protest activities and events in the south, as the security situation in Al-Dhale increased in intensity and out of the day in an unprecedented way that it was described by the governor The governorate, “Ali Qasim Talib,” said that he reached a “tiring” conclusion and “what is above sabotage …” is a guarantor of diagnosing what is going on.
Two months ago, Al-Dhali ‘has been experiencing a terrible security chaos: night clashes, targeting security headquarters, bombings, killings and assassinations, cutting and thuggery, looting of property and intimidation of the security forces … without there being any significant movement by the security authorities in the governorate who are accused by the citizens of negligence and negligence, demanding the dismissal of a director Security.
More than 200 trucks seized
After eight consecutive days, days and nights, more than 200 trucks loaded with oil derivatives and foodstuffs seized are released in a tribal sector that was set up on Friday noon before last, gunmen affiliated with the Southern Movement led by Ali Salem Al-Baid in the area of ”Sehna” amid the complete absence of the security services in the governorate, which they say is She preferred to handle the matter wisely, fearing a violent clash with these elements.
While the checkpoint raised the flag of the Democratic Republic of Yemen (formerly) continued to be located in an area on the former border, and they searched cars coming from the direction of Qataba, before the armed men returned to allow cars and vehicles to pass, except for the trucks of merchants, which they kept stuck in dozens in order to pressure the central authorities to release A prisoner from the province called Faris Abdullah Saleh, accused of the bombing of Al-Wahda Sports Club in Aden, prior to the launch of the 20 Gulf Championship hosted by our country, the situation is still the same for the local authority, which has not acted on the situation as if the matter does not concern it despite the negative repercussions on life The general public of citizens in the governorate and outside it, and the sensitivity of this to the national position at least, and dealing with it decisively, as was the case under the previous regime, with such issues without that necessarily implying the use of force and confrontation with those elements.
The strange thing is that the point is only a few meters away from the residence of the governor, “Ali Qassem Talib,” and the government compound building, and a stone’s throw away, as truck drivers say, who were greatly upset by the governor’s position when they went to him to solve the sector problem. Let the gunmen open the way. ”
Which puts many question marks about the position of the governor and the director of security on the unprecedented state of chaos and chaos; Especially in light of the frequent talk of a trend by government agencies in the governorate to remove all security points belonging to the aid from Al-Dhalea to the Qataba district, to evacuate the governorate from any military or security presence.
The matter warns of insecurity and high rates of interruption and crime, especially in light of the conditions that Yemen is experiencing in general – according to what local residents see in Al-Dhalea – as security sources revealed that the Security Director had withdrawn all weapons and ammunition within the Security Department to his home under the pretext of fear that the armed men would control them in case The Security Department was subjected to any surprise attack.
The governor and the security director’s indulgence with those elements for unacceptable limits (four days) is not justified at all, regardless of the case of pretension and the articulation of wisdom, especially since the continued detention of trucks has begun to have an impact on the disappearance of oil derivatives, especially diesel, on which the various sectors depend in The conduct of economic activity in the country and damage to merchants belonging to the goods carried on these trucks.
A local source revealed that the governor refused to call for an exceptional meeting to discuss the situation in the governorate and obstructed a proposal to do so by the administrative body on the pretext that he assigned the director of security for Al-Dhalea Directorate and a number of sheikhs and wise people to communicate with these elements and reach an agreement with them to solve the problem and end the interruption.
In his meeting last Tuesday, he returned to the governorate local again and assigned the committee in charge of dealing with the repercussions of the bombing of Al Jalila in cooperation with the military committee led by Major General Saif Al-Dhali and Jihad Ali Antar to solve the problem by peaceful means away from the use of violence and force.
Night clashes … and killings
And if the night clashes and bombings targeting the headquarters of the security services had previously remained a necessary characteristic of al-Dhali for years, and it was more likely that they remained merely maneuvering and consuming (Allah’s request) with weapons and ammunition by the leaders of the security and military services, and they ended in peace without causing any human harm. And if they cause fear and panic and spread terror among the population and travelers passing through the city, the clashes today have become more fierce and deadly against civilians and military alike.
The killings and assassinations practiced by outlaws who often ride motorcycles are the most lethal and dangerous to public life in the city, as many innocent civilian and military lives have been claimed, and it is doubtful that these incidents continued to be restricted against unknown and if the perpetrators were revealed, they are They remain free and do not reach the hand of justice, which leads one to put more than one question mark about the actions of the security services in the governorate and their management of the situation, as many individuals complain about the practices of their leaders and plunged them into the holocaust of violence and chaos by presenting them as an easy pick for the armed elements.
Looting shops:
Citizens in Al Dhale’e complain about the high rate of armed robbery in shops, especially in the customs market close to the security department in the governorate in an unreasonable way without the security services taking any action despite their knowledge of these incidents and their knowledge of the gang members that carry out such operations.
The latest armed robbery was what happened earlier this week to a shop belonging to a citizen belonging to the city of (Zabid) in the governorate of Hodeidah. 80 thousand riyals were looted by force after he was beaten and shot, which led to his injury with 3 bullets in the leg and he is currently lying in the hospital to receive treatment. Earlier, another shop owner was injured while pursuing armed robberies in his shop. For the armed elements to shoot him.
Corruption of the security services:
Saad al-Rabiya – head of Islah al-Dhali ‘- said that the situation in the governorate is going from bad to worse, referring to the failure of the local authority and its security services to play the required role, and their failure to unify them in a single national administration away from self-interests and overlapping tasks and responsibilities, in addition to rampant corruption In the security services.
While Al-Rabiah accused the local authority of not playing its role, he said that it had lost the prestige of the state and sometimes encouraged the abusers of Al-Dhali ‘and its honorable sons.
And if this is the state of the general security situation in the governorate, then the situation of the security services from the inside is undoubtedly and absolutely not pleased at all, and what is happening in the street is nothing but a natural reflection of what is in the corridors of these agencies and what they suffer from financial, administrative and other corruption, which is what It is expressed from time to time by the protests of public security soldiers and the rescue, starting with the disobedience witnessed by the provincial security administration months ago and ending with the state of complaint and complaints that the soldiers express to the media, as they closed the gate of the building and prevented anyone from entering it, while some soldiers stationed on the roof of the Security Administration building They carry machine guns to demand the dismissal of Brigadier General / Ali Hammoud Al-Omari – who they say is often absent from his duties – and the neglect of the conditions of the soldiers.
Public Security soldiers, expressing their strong dissatisfaction with the negligence and negligence witnessed by the provincial security department, confirmed that this state of negligence reflects the poor leadership and the current management of security, and that the security soldier has become very embarrassed by the situation that the governorate security administration is experiencing, pointing out that the new recruits Those who have not been conscripted for a long time now feel very frustrated by this situation, and their presence and other soldiers have become a matter of preserving the monthly salary and not fulfilling a religious and patriotic duty to maintain security and stability.
As a result of this state of neglect, many soldiers are exposed to dangers while carrying out security tasks, but they receive no care. They demanded the formation of a committee from the Ministry of Interior to look into the conditions of the soldiers, which they described as “miserable.”
Perhaps one of the reasons for this sluggishness and deterioration is the state of corruption witnessed by the Traffic Department in the governorate … where the information indicates that the administration renews licenses and cards for vehicles of all kinds without any attribution and official documents in accordance with what is followed in the republic, in light of the silence of the officials in the administration The province’s security, as well as the governor and the secretary general of the local council and its administrative body.
In exchange for the breakpoints for outlaws in Sanah, a number of the rescue forces personnel in Qataba camp last Sunday cut the line at the Shim checkpoint in protest at the police chief’s suspension of the salaries of their colleagues on regional grounds, and while the soldiers later rushed to raise the sector after paying the salaries of the suspended soldiers, and threatening them To resume the protest and block the road completely in the event that they are not reinforced with security forces, weapons and ammunition to confront the threat posed by the militants; As there are fears of storming the military site in Qutaba, pointing out that the Gaza Strip raised an assertion that their demands are human rights, so the response of the Commander of the Relief, Colonel Muthanna Qahtan, came to the soldiers ’protests by describing them as cowards who are not responsible as they say Sima. If you are men, enter the city of Al-Dhali`, which was interpreted by the soldiers as an attempt by Al-Shuaibi to push them into confrontations and clashes with the armed elements in the “Sehnah Point” that they control in light of suspicious security silence, especially by the director of security and the commander of the police who had promised to reinforce them with a security kit And medium weapons to meet the threat of the militants, but he has not fulfilled his promise for ten days until now in light of fears that armed elements stormed the prison in the area.
Zonal
Police officers accuse Al-Shuaibi of negligence and negligence in the performance of his duty and dealing in a disgusting regional manner through the aggression of soldiers from the sons of Al-Dhali ‘and Lahj against their colleagues from the governorates of Ibb, Dhamar and Sana’a, in irresponsible practices as they say. The soldiers who said that they rose up against his new commander due to the neglect and neglect they were suffering from and the poor level of services provided to them and hoped for that good after things went well during the previous period, held al-Shuaibi and the commander of the brigades fully responsible for the dangers and assaults they encountered by the elements outside the The law, which went so far as to attack the camp, in light of the indifference and absence of responsibility with which the latter dealt with the situation, as if the matter did not concern them from near or far; In a way that endangers the lives of the soldiers.
Formal condemnation:
A member of the governing board of the local council, “Ali Al-Oud,” held everyone responsible for the chaos occurring in the governorate, in which he said that no one is cleared of it. As long as the people are divided, the situation is liable to explode at the earliest opportunity and we are part of this nation.
For his part, “Muhammad Massad Naji” described the situation as a ruin and no one is satisfied with what works outside the law, stressing that everyone wants a state that plays its role, and that the task of deterring this group or alienation of saboteurs is the state and not the citizen.
Firm stance:
And if the previous regime had worked in the past in a systematic manner to transform the areas of the south, foremost of which is Al Dhale’e, into chaos and insecurity, and leaving the rope on the outskirts for those outside the law to run and have fun as they like without being held accountable or punished, then today it is with a suspicious alliance through its elements that are still at the head of power and agencies The security forces are working to feed those feelings and acts of interruption, targeting northern citizens, their shops and their properties, in an attempt to plunge the country into the furnace of violence and chaos.
The youth activist in the governorate, “Ali Al-Asmar” says that such practices require all the people of the governorate, foremost among which are community leaders from the sheikhs and leaders of the movement, to take a firm stand by exposing those behind these acts and resisting them. It is not enough to condemn only these actions that everyone will pay for. Southerners are vigilant and cautious, and that they do not allow insecurity and chaos to prevail in their regions. Rather, what is required is to stand by the state’s apparatus, embarrass it, and demand it to do its work in various fields.
Recession:
Since its establishment in 98 AD, Al-Dhali ‘has lived a long period of neglect and marginalization, due to the policies that the ousted government followed against the governorate and its people … such as the absence of infrastructure, service and development projects … and the situation made matters worse if the state of chaos and chaos worsened the situation in a way that was reflected in the various vital areas in the governorate. And the capital mainly, as the city stagnated in commercial traffic and turned into a ghost town, especially in light of the harassment and threats that merchants and shop owners are subjected to, prompting some to leave the city and search for a safe place.
While some believe that the state of security chaos is the most important thorny problem on the road to the transformation that the country is witnessing after the peaceful February 11 revolution, and that the solution to this dilemma depends on resolving other political issues that will be addressed at the table of the National Dialogue Conference in the coming days. That there is a great deal of truth in this, but he sees the security issue in this aspect, and if we drop the situation on Al-Dhali, it takes a different direction in which a set of factors overlap, the most important of which is the absence of responsibility and the size of corruption that controls these agencies.
Can’t stand for complexity
Al-Dhali ‘had breathed a sigh of relief at the beginning of this year, especially after the courageous and historic decision of President / Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi and the Minister of Defense based on the recommendation of the committee in charge of dealing with the bloody events of Al Jalila, represented in the withdrawal of military sites from places adjacent to residents’ homes, and ending what citizens described as the militarization of the city, which was from It would eliminate the most important elements of tension, but the merchants of wars and crises do not satisfy them that people live in security and stability, and here the ball is once again in the hands of the Military and Local Committee to play its role in ending the state of congestion in the governorate, opening roads for trucks to traffic, and normalizing life again, so people do not They bear more of this complexity.
