Yemen: son of tribal sheikh killed in armed ambush south of Sanaa

Sanaa, Yemen ·

Local sources said Maher al-Najjashi, the son of a tribal sheikh, was killed in Huzayz, south of Sanaa. He had reportedly been lured there on the pretext of mediating a reconciliation between two feuding parties.

Yemen has been divided since 2014, when the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) seized Sanaa and much of the north, while an internationally recognised government holds much of the south. Tribal networks and armed groups remain influential in local disputes.
