Al-Bayda: village residents boycott Friday sermon after Houthis impose a preacher from their ranks

Al-Hajr, Yemen ·

Residents of Al-Hajr village in Sabah district, Al-Bayda governorate, stayed away from the Friday sermon and prayers at their village mosque in protest. They said the Houthis had abducted the mosque's preacher and appointed one from outside the governorate.

The Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) controls Sanaa and much of northern Yemen, and has been in conflict with the internationally recognised government since 2014.
