A military source in the governorate of Abyan, south of Yemen, suggested that the departure of the commander of the security belt forces in the governorate, “Abd al-Latif al-Sayyed” to the Egyptian capital, Cairo, would be a final departure, indicating that a successor had been appointed secretly.
The well-informed military source said that the Emiratis allowed (Al-Sayyed) to take his family out of Abu Dhabi, which had been staying there for a year and a half, and guaranteed him a safe exit to the Egyptian capital, where he would stay until further notice.
According to the source, the UAE and its allies have anticipated the possibility of ousting (AlSayyed) according to what was stipulated in the Riyadh agreement, and decided to deport him.
The source confirmed that the UAE has appointed a loyal leader as General Supervisor of the security belt forces in Abyan, in an unannounced decision so far.
He said that after the last September and August battles in which his forces were defeated by the government forces, he had no desire to continue to lead these forces, especially since differences between the man and a number of security belt leaders in Aden and Abyan began to appear during the recent period.
