ADEN, Yemen, May 1 (Xinhua) Forces loyal to Yemen s government and the Houthi rebels conducted a prisoner exchange in the country s northern province of Marib on Saturday, a government official told Xinhua.
According to the local official who asked to remain anonymous, 18 detainees were released as part of a prisoner exchange between the two warring sides fighting over the control of the strategic oil-rich province of Marib.
The source said that the government forces and the Houthi rebels exchanged prisoners through efforts exerted by local tribal mediators.
He clarified that nine prisoners were released by government troops, while nine others were released by the rebel group.
Ten years ago today, government forces opened fire on protesters in Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, killing 12 people.
It was not the most deadly display of violence against protesters since demonstrations calling for the removal of the country’s dictator of 33 years, Ali Abdullah Saleh, had begun, but it was the moment when it became clear to many that he would refuse to cede power. As such, it marked a crucial turning point in the uprising.
Taha al-Jalal, who I met in Sana’a in 2014 and later married after he moved to Italy, was 23 at the time and living at home in Sana’a with his parents and younger siblings. He was studying modern languages at the University of Sana’a, close to where the demonstrations had started in late January in an area that became known as “Change Square”.
