Meanwhile, some of the Saudi mercenaries, from the so-called al-Soqour Brigade, have set up checkpoints in the border area between the provinces of Ma’rib and Jawf and are preventing Saudi military equipment from crossing because they have not received their payments for months.

Many of the mercenaries in Ma’rib also left the Saudi-funded military bases after they received only 600 Saudi riyals instead of the promised 1,400 riyals.
