A statement issued by the sheikhs of the Qaara tribes, seen by “Yemen Shabab Net,” said that they will not allow anyone who tries to divide their unity and interfere in their close-knit tribal affairs.

The tribes' statement affirmed their rejection of their tribal heritage and external interference. Under the allegations of structuring that have emerged recently, without taking into account tribal customs, customs and customs existing in their surroundings.

The tribes were warned against compromising their social fabric and obliterating the prevailing norms that have been rooted in their societies since ancient times.

The tribes called on the local authority to respect tribal custom and sit with all tribal sheikhs. To avoid conflicts that might tear apart the social peace in the governorate.

Raafat Al-Thaqli, the governor of Socotra affiliated with the Transitional Council, had appointed a committee called “Restructuring the Tribes,” in a move that was widely rejected by the sheikhs and tribes of Socotra, who said that it aimed at the social fabric and dismantling the tribes.
