Leader in “southern resistance” abducted in Aden

ADEN, May 26 (YPA) -The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) forces, have kidnapped a leader of the “Southern Resistance” and taken him to an unknown location in the city of Aden, which is under the control of Saudi-led coalition.

Informed sources in the city reported that the STC’s gunmen kidnapped Southern Resistance leader Mamdouh Al-Bani from the Crater district and took him to one of their prisons.

They indicated that Al-Bani’s family resorted to searching for their son through the leadership of the STC’s factions.

The reasons for his abduction, any possible motives as well as his whereabouts and his fate are still unknown yet, the sources said.

Sources suggested that the kidnapping of Al-Bani was due to his repeated criticisms of the collapse of basic services in Aden, including electricity and rising prices of various food commodities.
