Houthi abduction of Yemen aid worker turned wedding joy into months of agony
AL-MUKALLA: Ahmed Ali Ahmed Al-Yemeni had just celebrated his daughter’s wedding in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa and was relaxing in bed after a long, arduous, and joyous night. On June 6, at almost 7 a.m., a group of armed men and women in armed cars encircled his home before pounding on the door, a knock that would interrupt then destroy the family’s calm and joy for months to come. Al-Yemeni, 51, opened the door to find surprise guests — almost 20 armed Houthi masked men and veiled women raided his residence, searching it and arresting him.
