Will border demarcation company succeed? [Archives:2002/38/Front Page]

Sana’a, Sept. 14 (YT)-Army units from the 115 brigade, along with other military units stationed in the Sheqaq al-Waleed area and its outlets, have recently been deployed there forming a security buffer zone separating the company entrusted with placing border markings from tribesmen from Daham al-Hamra present there for about two weeks.
Sources mentioned that the company had resumed its work in the area of Sheqaq al-Waleed and some areas al-Hamra Dehm tribe have claimed their ownership.
Sources have indicated that the tribes there haven’t demonstrated any reaction in response to the resumption of border demarcation. Tribal sources added that any action by tribesmen would lead to the outbreak of big fighting between the tribesmen and the Yemeni army units deployed there. The sources also mentioned that the tribes would continue their demand, expressing fears that the tribes might try to blast the markings after withdrawal of the troops similarly to what had been done in some other areas.
Tribes of Dhu Hussein – Dehm al-Hamra had attacked equipment of the company two weeks ago and malfunctioned other equipment of the company, causing suspension of its work.
