Southern sources in the west coast revealed the growing disputes between the paid fighters leader ,Tariq Saleh Afash ,and one of the leaders of the Giants , which controls the gate of Khalid eastern camp.


The sources confirmed that sharp disputes erupted between the leadership of the brigades Abdulrahman al-Lughji and Tariq Afash on the background of the fall of many of dead and wounded who were fighting in the ranks of the Saudi-led coalition ,who fell in Moza’a district in circumstances which were described by sources as “ambiguous.”


The sources added that Tariq Afash sent a telegram to the leadership of the coalition, appealing them to stop Al-Lahji.

Tariq Afash is the nephew of the late Ali Abdullah Saleh, the despot who ruled as president of Yemen from 1990 until 2011, and was killed in December 2017 following his defection to the side of the Saudi and Emirati forces.

Vowing to avenge his uncle and continue his path of defection, Afash offered his services to the UAE forces and promised to defeat the National Salvation Government in Aden “within ten days”. However, after a series of heavy defeats in Taiz province, the mercenary leader was allegadly summoned to the Emirates in order to answer for his failures.

Sources also indicate that the Afash mercenaries were armed with state of the art modern weaponry by their Emirati masters, but in many cases left behind their weapons on the battlefield or even sold them to traders after deserting.
