In a related context, the sources pointed out that Adel al-Jaadi, head of the so-called Association of wisdom in the province of Dali, was the victim of an assassination attempt after an explosive device planted in his car in a district of the city of Aden.

This is not the first time that leaders of the Islah Party have been subjected to assassinations and chases. More than 17 mosque preachers of Salafi groups and other military leaders ,loyal to the forces of the US-Saudi-led coalition ,have been assassinated.

Aden city, which was occupied by UK but now under the control of UAE, and the rest of the southern cities witnessed an insecurity situation that increased the assassinations of Imams of mosques and security and military leaderships

The province of Aden witnesses a security fiasco that escalated with killings, looting issues , in addition to others that never happened before.

The UAE took control of Aden under the pretext of confronting the so –called “Houthis” , Ansarallah, part of the Yemeni armyforces, and supported the establishment and formation of armed paid fighters there.

A few months ago, Emirati-backed forces were fighting and killing Saudi-backed forces in Aden. The south is moving towards outright autonomy .The entrenchment of a war economy is another significant obstacle to peace.
