News - Yemen: The governor of Abyan Major General Saleh Al-Junaidi said that Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din Al-Houthi directed the release of Major General Faisal Rajab, in response and in honor of the visiting delegation of the Abyan tribes.

Al-Junaidi confirmed that prisoner Faisal Rajab will be handed over to the delegation of the Abyan tribes on Sunday morning.

The Prime Minister Abdulaziz bin Habtoor informed the tribal delegation, during their meeting on Saturday morning, of the directives of the Leader of the Revolution Sayyed Abdulmalik Al-Houthi to release the prisoner Faisal Rajab, and hand him over to the tribal delegation on Sunday morning, in conjunction with holding a press conference in this regard.

In turn, the head of the delegation, Sheikh Salem Al-Junaidi, expressed his thanks to the Leader of the Revolution, the President and the National Salvation Government for their generous hospitality and the decision to release Rajab.

He explained that one of the purposes of the visit is also seeking to strengthen brotherhood and affection, stressing that unity will remain firmly rooted in the heart of every Yemeni.

Faisal Rajab is a prisoner with the Yemeni Armed Forces. The US-Saudi aggression and the Saudi-backed government abandoned his inclusion in the prisoner exchange list.

A tribal delegation from Abyan, including a large number of sheikhs, notables, and social dignitaries, arrived in Sana'a on Thursday amidst a wide popular reception.

On Wednesday, the head of National Delegation Mohammed Abdulsalam confirmed that Sana'a welcomes all those who come to it from all governorates.

"By convergence of everyone on one homeland and one citizenship, aggression will be defeated, Yemen will be victorious, security and stability will be achieved, and peace will prevail," Abdulsalam added.

He pointed out that Sana'a, by confronting the US-Saudi aggression, defended all Yemen, and its greatness is for its people, its steadfastness and its victory are for Yemen.
