The decision of the Southern Ground Forces to assign the brother of the late Commander Saleh Al-Sayyid to lead the Fifth Brigade camp in Lahj, the largest camp in the south, sparked widespread controversy in Aden.

The leadership of the Wild Brigades assigned the brother of the late Commander Saleh al-Sayyid, Hashem al-Sayyid, who was recently assassinated, to lead the Fifth Brigade camp in Lahj.

 The Fifth Brigade camp in Lahj is the largest camp in the south, as it contains heavy weapons, a large manpower, and a tank and artillery battalion, 

Social media pioneers condemned the decision to assign the brother of the late leader, considering that he did not have appropriate military qualifications for the position, as he was an expatriate in southern Saudi Arabia and had never worked in the military.

The decision raised questions about the criteria for selecting military commanders, especially since the brother of the late commander had no previous military experience.

No official body issued any comment on the controversy surrounding the decision, and the state of controversy and discussion continued on social networking sites.
