A member of the UAE-backed elite forces of Shabwa attacked the head of the national Council in the city of Ataq on Sunday evening.
“One member of Shabwanian elite forces tried to kidnap me by force on one of their vehicles after he stiffened my clothes,” Karam Bajammal said.
“I refused to go up,” he said. “I asked to find out why, but he did not answer me.
The elite forces of Shabwa are irregular forces and do not follow the Ministry of Defense or the Yemeni Interior, but receive guidance from the UAE leadership in the Balhaf project and “al-Alam” camp.
