Joe Ga stood next to a Milos Armored Vehicle, watching a group of workers slowly enclosing the vacant factory area he was in with barbed wire.
More than 300 trucks slowly drove into the factory, and soon soldiers pushed mobile conveyors to quickly unload the goods from the trucks.
The factory area, which spans hundreds of hectares, still requires time to be fully enclosed, and the internal buildings such as warehouses need repairs and extensions, so the materials are temporarily piled up in the open-air grounds.
The Yemen region has little rain, so there is no immediate concern of problems from storing the materials outdoors.
Years of war have left the local people here struggling to survive, and in such an environment, the factory has ceased operations; anything useful inside was taken away...
From machinery to streetlights, even the wires in the walls were stripped out...
Joe Ga wasn't bothered by the poor environment here, as a blank canvas is easier to paint on anyway.
