Yemeni officials say forces evicting northerners from Aden

None

SANAA- Pro-government forces in the southern Yemeni port city of Aden were detaining and evicting hundreds of civilians to the north, Yemeni officials said Sunday.

 

The officials said armed groups have been raiding shops, restaurants and homes, arresting more than 2,000 northerners they say pose a threat to "security."

 

The officials said they suspect the evictions are the work of secessionists who want southern Yemen to break away from the north, with which it was united in 1990.
