Yemen: Yemeni government condemns Houthi killing of a tribal leader
Yemen’s internationally recognised government condemned on Tuesday the killing of a tribal leader by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.
Fighting between two tribal groups loyal to the rebels resulted in the deaths of at least 10 people in the northwestern Amran province on Sunday.
Sheikh Mujahed Kashira, a tribal leader who once fought alongside the Houthis, was killed after being accused of defecting.
A video shared online showed gunmen attacking Kashira’s lifeless body as they dragged it through a street.
