Two gunmen yesterday assassinated an official of the Yemeni Congregation for Reform Party, known as Al-Islah, in the coastal city of Mokha. Quoting a local source, Anadolu reported that two gunmen on a motorcycle shot and killed Ali Al-Haisi. Nobody has claimed responsibility for the murder.
The source, who requested anonymity, added that Al-Haisi was one of the figures within Al-Islah who had played a part in liberating the city from the Houthis in early 2017.
Mokha is under the control of the National Resistance Forces led by the Vice-President of Yemen, Tareq Saleh.
Since the outbreak of the Yemeni conflict in 2014, dozens of leaders and cadres of Al-Islah have been assassinated, especially in the country's southern governorates.
