Local sources said that the Al-Qayfa area in Radaa witnessed violent clashes between the Houthi militia and the Al-Qayfa tribes, which resulted in the killing of two young men from the area.
In an attempt to calm the situation and stop the bloodshed, the sheikhs of Al-Qayfa intervened through mediation to communicate with the Houthi leaders in an effort to end the conflict.
But what was supposed to be a step towards peace turned into a tragedy, as the sheikhs of Al-Qayfa were surprised today by direct orders from Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi to liquidate them, to serve as an “example” for everyone who dares to oppose the orders of the militia leader, Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, according to local sources. As a result, The sheikhs who came with good intentions to mediate and resolve the conflict were assassinated, without having any direct relationship to the problem.
Despite the heinousness of the crime, this incident did not receive the expected condemnation from some Brotherhood figures and leaders, such as Anis Mansour and Adel Al-Hasani (who were only concerned with the events of the south), who did not issue any comment or denunciation of what happened. This silence has dismayed many, as they wonder why there is no conviction for a crime of this magnitude, especially since the murdered sheikhs were only mediators for peace.
This incident sheds light once again on the escalation of tensions, and reveals the major challenges facing any attempts at calm or dialogue in light of the continued control of a Persian militia, and increases concern about the silence of the media and Omani-backed activists, while any issue that occurs in the south, even if it is small, they rush to To shed light on it and try to ignite strife.
