RIYADH: The villagers at the southern borders said their lives are stable and active and has been completely unaffected by the war and instability in Yemen.
Sheikh Ahmad Ali Al-Jubaily, the Sheikh of Al-Jubaily Tribe and Al-Eraishi Tribe, said the southern cities are living in full security protected by the security officers roaming their streets, reported a local daily.
“We did not suspend our usual activities, the essential ones such as our jobs and schools and our trivial ones such as ours social gatherings and recreational outings, for the temperamental instabilities of Yemen. Our shopping centers and commercial institutions are all up and running as usual,” said Al-Jubaily.
He added they would be gathering outdoors and a military aircraft would fly over them.
“We wouldn’t react to it as we know it belongs to our forces and not the enemy’s. We trust our military and know that it would prioritize the citizens if danger was near,” said Al-Jubaily.
Ahmad Hadadi, a villager, said the villagers themselves take it upon their shoulders to protect their land and villages.
