The _oppressive policies_ imposed by the _Ottoman Empire_ in the occupied areas exacerbated the situation in many _Yemeni regions_. Among the most prominent of these policies was the _imposition of heavy taxes and levies_ on citizens, exceeding their capacity. At that time, the Turks forced farmers and citizens to pay _exorbitant taxes_ without any regard for their difficult economic conditions. Sheikh Qaed Al-Buraihi refused to pay these unjust levies and stood against the _Turkish occupation_, believing that _injustice_ could not be tolerated. He knew that these taxes were _unfair_ and aimed to _drain the people's strength_ and increase their suffering. Therefore, Sheikh Qaed decided to confront _injustice_ with all his might and resist the _Turkish occupation_ with all his _will and courage_. The _Turkish military campaigns_ began targeting Sheikh Qaed, attempting to capture him and put him on trial on various charges. However, Sheikh Qaed was a _resister_ to oppression and did not succumb to threats. In those moments, he took refuge in _Jabal Al-Sharqi_, overlooking his _village_, which served as a _strategic location_ for him. This mountain was his safe haven, where he and his men were always ready to face the invaders and resist them with unparalleled courage.
- The Violent Battle in Al-Zawaai and His Martyrdom:*
In _1884_, after the Turks continued their attempts to capture him, a _violent confrontation_ erupted in the _Al-Zawaai area_ between the Turkish occupation forces and Sheikh Qaed and his men. The battles were fierce, with Sheikh Qaed bravely facing the Turks and leading his men in a fierce battle against the invaders who outnumbered and outgunned him. In that battle, Sheikh Qaed _achieved significant victories_ against the Turks, killing a large number of them and inflicting _heavy losses_ on their forces. However, despite his bravery and wise leadership, Sheikh Qaed was severely injured in the battle. Nevertheless, he _continued to resist_, refusing to surrender despite his bleeding wounds. His determination knew no defeat, and he led his men in the heart of the battle until the last moment. In the end, after inflicting _heavy losses_ on the Turks, they managed to _kill him_, but not before he _achieved a great victory_ against the Turkish aggression. His _stances_ and _sacrifices_ became an inspiration for all who came after him, making his name a _symbol of resistance_ and heroism in the face of invaders.

Sheikh Qaed was not just a military leader but a _symbol of justice_ and _dignity_, known for his noble human qualities that made him beloved by all. Sheikh Qaed left behind a _legacy of struggle_ and _heroic stances_ that will be remembered by history for a long time. Although the _enemies_ managed to _kill him_, they could not _erase_ his memory or _silence his voice_. His name has become an integral part of the _Yemeni resistance history_ against foreign occupations.
