In a recent development, Aden Security Administration, controlled by the Saudi-led coalition, has accused leaders of UAE-backed factions for the kidnapping and disappearance of Major Ali Ashhal Al-Jaidani, a battalion commander in the Air Defense Forces from Abyan province since mid-June last year.
The accused in the kidnapping, known as Sameeh Aidaroos Al-Norji, were released under the guarantee of the “counter-terrorism commander” funded by the UAE in Aden, Yasseran Al-Maqtri. Aden Security Administration has committed to pursuing the case and apprehending those responsible.
Human rights activists have criticized the security statement for releasing the main suspect without any information about Al-Jaidani’s whereabouts. They hold Al-Maqtri accountable for the missing commander’s safety.
President Aidaroos Al-Zubaidi of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council left Aden for the UAE, leading to protests by Abyan tribes blocking the international road connecting Aden to eastern Yemen. They demand action regarding Al-Jaidani’s case.
