News - Yemen: Al-Qaeda established a new camp in the hometown of former president Hadi and his former interior minister Ahmed Al-Maysari on Sunday, in a move that indicates that the governorate, which is witnessing unprecedented recruitment, is on its way to explode.

Local sources told southern media that the organization had established a new camp in the outskirts of Mudiyah district and began receiving child soldiers.

The sources pointed out that the organization had adopted 10 recruits for each village in the district, which had been its stronghold over the past years.

One of the organization’s conditions is that the soldier’s age should not exceed 16 years. The recruits are trained, according to the sources, on improvised explosive devices and belts.

Saudi Arabia launched the devastating war against Yemen in March 2015 in collaboration with a number of its allies and with arms and logistics support from the US and several Western states.

The war has stopped well short of all of its goals, despite killing hundreds of thousands of Yemenis and turning the entire country into the scene of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

From the beginning of the aggression Al-Qaeda and Daesh were fighting alongside the coalition in the war against Yemen.

International media, including the American and British, have documented the participation of these two criminal organizations alongside the coalition forces. 

Leaders of the two organizations admitted in more than one audio recording of their participation in fighting on several fronts against the Yemeni Army and Popular Committees.
