Tribal tensions rise between the Azhar tribe and Houthi militia in Amran due to new assaults and territorial changes.

Rising Tribal Tensions in Amran Province

A significant tribal conflict has erupted between the Houthi militia and the Ather tribe in the Qaflat Ather district of Amran Province. This unrest stems from Houthi assaults on disputed lands, allegedly supported by militia security forces, according to local and tribal sources.

Houthi Attacks Spark Outrage

The tensions escalated two days ago following a Houthi attack on the Dhuh Mashaf area. Reports indicate that the assault involved the theft of solar energy equipment, private vehicles, and cable cutting, alongside assaults on tribal property across multiple locations.

Ongoing Land Disputes

Tribal sources confirmed that groups from the Al-Warawrah, Dhuh Ajlani, and Abu Qash tribes, with direct backing from the militia, continue to make new encroachments on disputed lands in the Garban, Sarb Al-Ayaniyin, and Ghalat Thalabah areas. This activity persists despite existing court orders prohibiting any alterations until the dispute is resolved.

Ather Tribe’s Warning

The Ather tribe has accused Houthi security personnel of bias towards opposing factions. They issued a stern warning against further provocations and assaults, asserting their determination to respond to these violations.

Escalating Violence in Amran

Amran Province is currently experiencing heightened tribal unrest, with armed confrontations between tribes and the militia occurring frequently across various districts. The ongoing Houthi violations continue to fuel this cycle of violence.
