Houthi militia decided to arrest Ali Abdullah Saleh and transfer him to Saada.

:: Houthi militias decided to arrest their ally Ali Abdullah Saleh and transfer him from his residence in Sanaa to Saada on Monday, Yemeni sources reported.

A Yemeni source confirmed the militia’s decision to end the alliance with the General People’s Congress party headed by Saleh, Al Arabiya reported.

The past days have seen a sharp increase in tension between the two allies, where leaders close to Saleh began to flee and take refuge in their tribes, especially after leaking list of Houthi assassinations.

Yemeni media sources reported that a leader of the Popular Congress Party, close to ousted President Saleh, arrived in the province of Shabwa from the Yemeni capital of Sanaa.

This came after the arrival of Hussein Hazeb, Minister of Higher Education in the Sanaa government, on Sunday in Marib.

On the other hand, Houthi militias arrested Ahmed al-Shoumi, director of the education office in the province of Hajjah, and forcibly hid him in an unknown location.

He is one of the most prominent leaders of the Congress Party in the province.
