A helpless young man was assassinated in Sanaa, the nation’s capital, by Houthi militants from Saada Governorate, the militia’s major stronghold in the country’s far north. The awful act provoked widespread outrage and condemnation among Sanaa’s social circles.
According to the Yemeni news agency on December 2, the young Ayman Muhammad al-Alafi (20 years old) was shot and killed by a Houthi gunman named Abdul Karim Al-Maraani near Sheraton Street in the heart of the capital, Sanaa.
The sources pointed out that the fodder young man, who is preparing for his wedding, was traveling in a motorcycle, on Sunday evening, when the owner of the bike argued with the Houthi militant who was driving his car in the street in a violating manner.
The child Ayman was killed and the motorcycle’s owner was injured, she said, adding that the al-Maraani pulled out his gun and opened fire.
According to media sources, the Mara’ani perpetrator is the Houthi leaders, and is accused of previous criminal cases, and he was recently released from prison and covering it up by the militia leaders.
As a result of Houthi militia control, which offers protection to those who commit murder and other violent crimes on its behalf, security conditions in the capital city of Sanaa have deteriorated dramatically.
