The pro-UAE elite forces set up security points in the center of Ataq, the southeastern province of Shabwa, hours after the security Committee decided to prevent any new points from being created in the city centre.
A local official said that the elite forces set up a security point in front of Hunish Street in the city of Ataq, which led to a resurgence of tension between them and the military forces loyal to the Yemeni government.
“The security committee in the province held a meeting on Sunday evening to find out the reasons for the security tension that occurred as a result of the creation of security points in the middle of the city by elite forces without coordination with the security Committee.”
He said that the meeting of the security committee approved the prevention of setting up any downtown points without reference to the Committee, but the elite forces erected the point this morning, without regard to the decision of the Security Committee.
The source pointed out that the actions of the elite «improvised and its attempt to arm legitimacy and impose the status quo, will lead to conflict and internal strife».
