Houthi militias stormed on Friday the home of Yemeni Vice President General Ali Mohsen Al-Ahmar and kidnapped his son Mohsen Ali Mohsen along with dozens of house guards, sources in Sana’a said.
Ahmar’s office and Houthis did not confirm or deny the news that was reported by Arabiya.Net.
However, Houthi militias also released Saturday two prominent tribal leaders with a number of their followers, who were arrested on charges of participating in the uprising called for by former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh on December 2, that ended with Saleh’s death and injuries among his relatives and hundreds of his supporters.
Observers said that Houthis might have taken this step to please the “Hashid” tribe, since the first leader was a communications minister in the unrecognized government coup and a leader in the Popular Congress Party. He was overthrown by Houthis after Saleh’s death and was held in one of their detention camps after being accused of supporting the uprising.
The other detainee was a tribal leader, who maintained a close relationship with the former president,. The militias looted and then blew up his house and arresting a number of his followers.
According to the Houthi-based Saba News Agency, Head of the coup Houthi Supreme Political Council Saleh Al-Samad received Saturday in Amran the Governorate’s elders and sheikhs from the Hashid tribe, praising their roles in supporting the group, in the face of what he called “aggression.”
Samad has also ordered the release of Sheikh Glidan Mahmoud Glidan and Sheikh Mabkhouth Al-Mashreqi.
Meanwhile, the Houthi militia suppressed Saturday protests in Sana’a carried out by women to denounce the coup militia, forty days after former President Ali Abdullah Saleh was killed.
The protest, which reached Tahrir Square in central Sana’a, called for “civil disobedience” in response to the Houthi violations.
The participants demanded that the Houthi militias hand over Saleh’s corps of Saleh, which the Houthis claim to have buried in his hometown earlier this month.
