Shabwa, NewsYemen:
The leaders of the most prominent tribes in Shabwa governorate boycotted a meeting called by the governor loyal to the Islah party - the local branch of the Brotherhood - Muhammad Saleh bin Adiyo yesterday.
Local and tribal sources told NewsYemen that a number of tribal leaders and authorities in Shabwa governorate refused to attend the meeting, which was held in the city of Ataq, in response to what they described as the "aggressive approach and failed policies" of Governor Adiyo.
It explained that the tribal Sheikh Muhammad Ahmad Al-Fatimi, the chief of the Al-Mufsabi’in tribe, Sheikh Khalid bin Ali Al-Harthy, the reference of the Belharith tribe, and Sheikh Mubarak Nasser Al-Megrahi, one of the largest leaders of the Al-Awaliq tribes, refused to attend the meeting.
The sources confirmed that the attendance was limited to government officials in local authorities and executive offices at the level of directorates, in addition to some contractors associated with financial interests and deals with the governor of Shabwa.
The sources attributed the reasons for the boycott of the senior sheikhs of Shabwa to meet with the Brotherhood governor, Muhammad Saleh bin Adiyo, to the hostile and exclusionary practices that the latter has pursued against the people of the governorate, since the Brotherhood militia took control of it, and also to the possibility of his involvement in facilitating the Houthi militia’s control of the three Baihan districts ( Ain, Usaylan and Al-Alia) without a fight.
