Mohammed says schools in his area have been closed for the past two months. Others remain open but families have stopped sending their children because over the security situation. Mohammed’s ten-year old brother has not been to school for 6 weeks

Last week, armed tribesmen from outside Aden came to his district and took over his neighbor’s land.

“My neighbor was screaming for help and was beaten up by the tribesmen, but we could not do anything for calling the security who came and did nothing.”

According to Mohammed, the violence in Aden, which first broke out just under a month ago, has been further compounded by the arrival of tribesmen who have been allowed to enter the city with weapons.

He explained that the tribesmen are now controlling both state-owned land as well as that of wealthy citizens from the north of the country.

He believes the insecurity has reflected badly on the way ordinary people are being treated, particularly woman.

“Two days ago I saw two men harassing a girl in the street, soldiers saw but did nothing,” said Mohammed.

    19:11 Ottawa NYC Time Abdullah Al-maisari reporting from Sanaa Live on Facebook
    News that, KSA refused to support Saleh, during a meeting with Foreign Mnister Al-Qirbi, who is also Canadian. Note: Yemen Analyst says Yemen President Saleh was steadfast in saying he won't leave and sending tanks to guard the presidential palace because he hoped Saudi Arabia would come to Yemen's aid like with Bahrain. 
    Context: However, there has been bad blood with Saudi Arabia over a decades fight over defining the Yemen-Saudi border, Yemen's support of Iraq in the Iraq-Kuwait war, Saudis not supporting Yemen's quest to join the Gulf cooperation council, Saudis building intelligence units on Yemeni border and a myriad of other issues that make their relations with Saleh more icy than Bahrain.
