Thousands of the Islah party militias (Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen) attacked the Shabwa governorate in southern Yemen under the cover of the so-called Yemen national army with the aim of controlling the province, which is located on the largest natural gas projects in Yemen and the region. The militia consists of a mixture of tribesmen loyal to the Islah party and trained Islamic elements in addition to some military leaders supervised by Yemeni Vice President Major General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar . The Yemeni independent organization National Center for Human Rights and democratic development NCHRDD claims that a large number of terrorists were among the militias who attack the the southern city . NCHRDD demanded the Yemeni president Abd Rabo Hadi, UN envoy and Leadership of the Arab Alliance in Yemen in a statement issued by NCHRDD today for the formation of an independent committee to investigate violations of human rights and the return of armed militias to their locations in Ma'rib governorate, which the organization considered it as a new Kabul in the region foreshadowing the emergence of a new Taliban-style extremist movement .
