Two Saudi teachers arrived safely back in Saudi Arabia after being released by Houthi rebels.

The pair, Abdulrahman bin Maqbul Al-Sharari and Salem bin Misfr Al-Ghamdi, arrived back to the Kingdom via Djibouti, landing at Khalid International Airport late on Thursday evening.

They were accompanied by the United Nations envoy to Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed and the Saudi Ambassador to Yemen Mohammed bin Saeed Al Jaber.

Last March, the teachers were heading to Moroni, Comoros via Sanaa when their flight was cancelled due to Operation Decisive Storm in Yemen.

In Sanaa, they were hosted by the United Nations Mission, before they were taken from there by armed Houthis rebels to an unknown destination.

The Saudis remained as hostages until the morning of 14 January when they were handed over to the UN’s envoy to Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed.
