On Sunday, gunmen attacked and set fire to the headquarter of Islah Party. The party issued a statement only condemning militants wearing military uniform without clearly stating their affiliation and the party behind them. It is noteworthy that the city of Aden is experiencing a security tension between the southern movement and the militants of the Islah Party, since the decision of President Hadi to expel the governor Idros Zubaidi and appoint Abdulaziz al-Maflhi amid accusations to Islah party standing behind these appointments in preparation for redeployment in Aden and south.
