Residents in Shawa, an oil rich province of Yemen, south-east of the capital, Sana'a, are said to be terrified as Drones are darkening their sky.

Since the government is much too pre-occupied with solving the current political crisis, allowing al-Qaeda militants to roam free in its southern territories a group called "Ansar al Sharia" has been extended its area of control throughout Abyan and Shabwa.

As alleged al-Qaeda fighters are arriving in Shabwa in their hundreds, according to some residents, local villagers are worry that like in Abyan, they will bring in their wake destruction and death.

For the past few months, the U.S has been freely violating Yemen's airspace, resuming its Drone campaign onto alleged al-Qaeda targets. Only a few weeks ago, Anwar al-Awlaki, the well-known controversial cleric and one of America's most wanted terrorist was executed in al-Jawf, a northern province of Yemen. A few days later his17 year-old was to meet the same fate, gunned down my America's unmanned planes.

"Ansar al Sharia" is now in control of the city of Azzan in Shabwa.

Residents of the town have already started to evacuate their homes as they are seeing more and more planes flying over the area, leading them to believe that an attack is imminent.
