After Tribal Demands for His Release… Houthis Accuse Sana’a Conference Secretary of Receiving Funds from Hostile Parties
Yemen Monitor / Newsroom:
The Houthi group has accused Ghazi Ali Al-Ahwal, Secretary-General of the General People’s Congress party’s Sana’a branch, of receiving funds from hostile external parties, after more than fifty days of his abduction.
Informed sources told “Yemen Monitor” that the Houthi accusations came after a meeting of the Al-Musa’abi tribe in Shabwa, to which Al-Ahwal belongs, demanded his release. During its meeting held on October 7 of this year in the city of Ataq, the tribe threatened a response befitting the tribe’s status if their demands continued to be ignored, considering his continued detention an affront to the tribe’s dignity.
The Houthi group had arrested Al-Ahwal, his office manager Adel Rabeed, and two of his bodyguards on August 20, despite the General People’s Congress party in Sana’a announcing the cancellation of its 43rd-anniversary celebrations on August 24 of this year.
Additionally, the Houthi group had abducted the Public Relations Officer of the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party, Dr. Rami Abdulwahab Mahmoud, on August 3, who also faces charges of receiving funds from hostile external parties.
