Sana'a (Debriefer) - The Yemeni official government seeks to transform Shabwa into a field for open war, Houthi-appointed governor of the southern governorate said Sunday.
Plans to move HQs of the 3rd, 6th and 7th military regions from Marib to Ataq and Baihan in Shabwa are but a plot to change the governorate into battlefield in the future, Ahmed al-Hassan al-Amir added.
This move targets Shabwa and its security, and aims to tighten military grip on oil fields and areas, he said in remarks carried by the Sana'a-based Saba.
The Houthi official called Shabwa people and tribes to "take actions that would protect their areas from being used as safe passages by the government troops, and would foil this dangerous plot."
