Scandal in Shabwah: release of Sheikh Aboud al-Sulaimani and 12 others after being accused of smuggling weapons to the Houthis, and reports of weapons being returned to their owners!

Shabwah, Yemen ·

Local sources revealed the release of Sheikh Aboud al-Sulaimani and 12 others, just three days after authorities announced their arrest and accused them of smuggling weapons. The move has sparked anger and resentment in Shabwah governorate.

Yemen has been in conflict since the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) seized Sanaa in 2014, and a Saudi-led coalition backs the internationally recognised government. Shabwah lies in the south, where various local and armed groups operate.
