Yemen security forces protest against leadership

A group of Central Security Forces marched into the 70th Square in the capital Sana’a to protest against a deduction in their salary of this month, a security officer said.

“There were some 400 hundred security members of the central security who forced the main gate open and went into the 70th square denouncing the move as unfair, said the police officer.

 He said that the Central Security Forces’ management deducted YR2, 000 from each soldier for the interest of the IDPs in Abyan province. 

The Central Security Forces, which includes a U.S. trained counterterrorism unit, is led by Yahiya Muhammed Abdullah Saleh, the nephew of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.

The officer did not further say whether the soldiers’ grievances were addressed or not. A group of Central Security Forces marched into the 70th Square in the capital Sana’a to protest against a deduction in their salary of this month, a security officer said.
