Trim ((Arabian Sea)) Special: Violent clashes erupted on Thursday morning between security and military forces and protesters in the city of Tarim, Hadramout Governorate, while the forces were attempting to open a main road that had been closed for days by protesters angry about the deteriorating economic conditions and rising prices. Eyewitnesses told the "Arabian Sea" newspaper that the forces used live ammunition to disperse the protesters, which led to the injury of a number of demonstrators, some of whom sustained serious injuries, and were transferred to Sayun General Hospital for treatment. Residents stated that the forces began removing the barriers erected by the protesters in the vital street, using force to disperse the gatherings, while the protesters chanted angry slogans demanding improved living conditions and an end to the economic chaos plaguing the governorate. These developments come amid escalating public anger in the cities of Wadi Hadramout as a result of the deterioration of services and the absence of government solutions, which portends more tension if the existing policies continue without responding to the demands of the street.
