Tense raises in Sana’a after militia kidnaps tribal Sheikh

Al-Houthi militia in Sanaa on Tuesday kidnapped the businessman Sheikh Abdullah bin Ahmed al-Huthaily from his home in the capital Sana’a.

Sources close to al-Hathili said that al-Houthi militia sent a number of armed crews to al-Hathaily house, and then took him to prison

The sources confirmed that “the Huthi militia refused to release al-Hiltili until the moment”, while he did not know the charges.

Dozens of residents of Sanhan, Khawlan and Arhab districts were reportedly gathered in the square of Sabeen, south of the capital, to protest the abduction of Sheikh al-Huthaily, demanding the Huthis to release him quickly.
