The Ahrar al-Najran (Arabic: أحرار النجران ʾAḥrār an-Najrān, "Free Ones of the Najran") movement is an alleged secessionist group in southern Saudi Arabia that arose in response to the Saudi-led intervention in the Yemeni Civil War that started in 2015. Information on the alleged group has come almost exclusively from Iranian and allied Syrian media, with no independent corroboration on them. Since the summer of 2015 there have been no further reports on the alleged group.[2]
History[edit]
The Najran Region, as well as the 'Asir and Jizan regions, was previously claimed by the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen. These regions joined the first Saudi state and then became independent before rejoining Saudi Arabia from 1922 to 1926. The first Saudi-Yemeni war drew the borders between the two countries. Besides the eastern provinces in the country, the aforementioned province has an important Shia presence. When the Houthi uprising in Yemen started and Saudi Arabia eventually intervened, Najran as a border province became part of the clashes and tribal forces in the region began to form, with Ahrar Al-Najran reportedly being an alliance of them.
