Taiz governor urges armed men to leave city or stop using civilian sites as bases

Unverified · Taiz, Yemen · 2026-10-15 14:29 UTC

Taiz governor Ahmed al-Masawa called on armed men in Taiz city to leave peacefully or stop fortifying and using homes and public facilities as military bases, according to a Tasnim News Telegram post. An X account reports the same call with added terms: accepting peace terms or leaving with personal weapons, and a named road (Najd Qasim - Al-Turba - Aden) as a safe passage out of the city. The claims contain no independent confirmation or denial.

Sources disagree on:

• The Tasnim relay does not mention the personal-weapons allowance, the peace-terms condition or the safe-passage road that the @ME_Observer_ post attributes to the governor.
• Both posts give the governor's statement as the source; the claims do not show whether the extra details in the X post come from the statement itself or from the X author's paraphrase.
