Tribal militants blockade highway in South Yemen

Militants from Ba Kazem tribe of Abyan province blockaded the road linking Hadramout province to Aden on Thursday, said a local source.

The source attributed to some sheikhs from Abyan province that they blockaded the road after the end of the investigations over the incident of killing some civilians during the airstrikes targeted some al-Qaeda operatives in al-Majala of Abyan province last December.

The tribal sheikhs demand tribal arbitration for solving the issue of killing civilians. Initially they demand 20 cars and 120 guns as a tribal guarantee.
