Violent armed confrontations broke out on Wednesday, November 6, 2024, between two families from the Al Muhayqni Bani Ayoub tribe in the Upper Markha District of Shabwa Governorate, southeastern Yemen, resulting in the death of a beekeeper named Sadiq Jalal Muhammad Arjoush Al-Subaihi, from Abyan Governorate, and the injury of Saleh bin Salem Saleh Munser Al Muhaiqni.

Local sources confirmed that the clashes broke out as a result of renewed old disputes between the two families dating back years, which led to an exchange of fire and the use of heavy weapons. The sources indicated that the situation is still tense in the region, and local circles fear the escalation of violence and the expansion of confrontations.

This incident is an indication of the continuation of tribal conflicts in Shabwa Governorate, despite the efforts made to enhance security and stability. This event underscores the importance of the role of local authorities and social notables in calming people and preventing further loss of life and property.
