Pretty soon the regime will start saying the displaced villagers are terrorists.

AS: HOOD Organization for Defending Rights and freedoms cited Monday that the militias of Aljaashin’s sheikh, Mohammad Ahmed Mansour attacked Alsifa’s people in Aljaashin with heavy and medium weapons. It also said that military vehicles surrounded the area, blocked all roads and prevented transferring.

For its part, HOOD cast the responsibility of that on the government, demanding the recent formed committee by the parliament to take immediate procedures in order to rescue the lives of citizens and put an end to such violations.

It considered what is happening is clear challenge to the aforementioned committee and armed response to the parliament decision, expressing its sorrow to the government’s negligence.

Local sources in Ibb province had said that sheikh’s soldiers began on Sunday bombing Naqil Alarsh area with heavy and medium weapons as a start to raid those people who refused paying taxes and duties for the sheikh .

They also said that the sheikh set up checkpoints to inspect all those people leaving and coming to the area.
