Taiz, NewsYemen, special:
As soon as the barrel of the guns fall silent among the Brotherhood's war mafia after each round of fighting that erupts between its leaders for influence in Taiz, a new tragedy unfolds for victims who are reaped by death from these orifices.
Afif Mahmoud Al-Shami and Muhammad Saeed Al-Zubaidi were the latest victims of this death, which is distributed by the Brotherhood's war mafia to the people of the city, and the death that the Houthi militia has issued to them from the outskirts of the city since March 2015.
Mahmoud and Muhammad were shot dead by the confrontations that took place in the city of Taiz, on Sunday, between the security and followers of the Colonel in Brigade 22 Mika Bakr Sadiq Sarhan, after the latter laid on a floor belonging to one of the founding leaders of the Brotherhood in Taiz, which angered the security to direct a security campaign against him and describes him in a statement. He has a gang leader, and that 4 of his members were wounded by his followers.
Bakr responded with an angry statement and reminded the security forces that he was a military commander and a colonel, and accused the security forces of trying to assassinate him, assaulting him, and shooting at his father's house, and that three of his house guards were injured.
The security statement and the statement of Colonel Bakr ignored the reference to the bill paid by the people of the city in the clashes. In fact, the security media published the next day news about the visit of the assistant director of security, Colonel Nabil Al-Kadhi, to wounded security soldiers, ignoring that 6 wounded and two young men were killed in these clashes.
Muhammad Saeed, nicknamed "Al-Zubaidi", one of the victims of the clashes. Activists revealed tragic details of the life of a young man who works as a bird seller in one of the city's markets. He supports his family consisting of two children and a third who is still in his mother's womb and lives with them and with his "birds" in a modest "shop".
Al-Zubaidi was not the first victim of the Brotherhood’s chaos among the city’s residents, but rather he was not the first seller to fall in blood, as a colleague of his selling “bananas” fell in clashes between the Brotherhood’s war mafia in mid-February 2017, in a city market.
The painful stories were of children falling under the bullets of the Brotherhood’s chaos, which claimed the soul of the girl “Fella” on her way from school back to her home in November 2018, and the 6-year-old girl, Nouran Mujib Ali Qassem, who was shot dead by gunmen who attacked a water filling station in the neighborhood Climate in Taiz in January 2019.
Although the incident of the killing of the girl Nouran turned into a public opinion at the time, this did not lead to the arrest of the perpetrators, but rather the painful death of her father, Mujib, only 9 months after the incident, forcibly on her blood after he was forced to give up the case and accept peace with the killers. By the military commander of the Brotherhood militia in Taiz, Brigadier General Abdo Farhan, known as “Salem,” according to what Mujib’s brother, who resides outside Yemen, revealed.
However, the most heinous crime remains the incident of killing the child Ayham inside his house and next to his mother, with more than 30 shots fired at his body by the followers of the Brotherhood militia leader Ghazwan Al-Makhlafi on the 9th of last August, on the pretext that his brother killed one of Ghazwan’s followers.
Crimes, despite their ugliness, but their victims have become just a number added to a long and continuous list of what the cycle of violence and chaos in Taiz reaps.
