Tribal fighters loyal to Sadeq Al-Ahmer, the sheikh of the most powerful tribal coalition in the country, Hashid, started on Wednesday handing over public offices to a mediation committee under a Riyadh-sponsored truce in Yemen's capital Sana'a.
Local sources were quoted by al-tagheer.com as saying that the tribesmen had handed ministries in Al-Hasaba area, the battlefield for fierce clashes between the army and them over the past few weeks. During the battles that left scores dead and hundreds injured, the tribesmen took over all public offices in Al-Hasaba and nearby areas.
The mediation committee is led by chief of the political security system, Ghalib Al-Qamish, who survived a rocket attack earlier while mediating to end the battles.
On Tuesday, acting president Abd Rabu Mansour Hadi ordered the forces to retreat from the streets as he said that maintaining security and providing key needs were top priorities while he is managing the country's affairs.
Al-Ahmer welcomed the call and expressed commitment to the true.
The life in Al-Hasaba and nearby districts has started to return normal, but yet the families, which fled during the battles, are back and businesses to reopen.
"Despite the calm situation over the last few days, many families are still leaving and shops are closed," Samid Al-Amri, a resident nearby the Interior Ministry said.
In Abyan, the provincial health office director warned today of a health disaster due to poor care services amid the continuous battles between the army and Islamists.
Dr Al-Khadir Al-Saidy told the News Yemen that the situation is disastrous as rotting and decomposing bodies litter the streets.
"There are tens of corpses on the streets. I warn of possible diseases as animals are now eating them," he said. "None can remove these bodies because deadly battles are continuing".
