Arrest of pro-Houthi tribal sheikh sparks armed clashes, shuts down Yemen-Oman border
Published July 8th, 2025 - 05:33 GMT Al-Zaidi, a senior tribal leader from Khawlan area, Sana'a governorate, was reportedly attempting to cross into Oman for medical treatment in Jordan when he was detained by Saudi-backed government forces. ALBAWABA- The arrest of prominent pro-Houthi tribal figure Sheikh Mohammed Ahmed Al-Zaidi at the Sarafit border crossing between Yemen and Oman has triggered an unprecedented wave of tension in Al-Mahra, a governorate ruled by the internationally recognized Yemeni government. Also Read Two Missing, two injured after ship attacked off Yemen Al-Zaidi, a senior tribal leader from Khawlan area, Sana'a governorate, was reportedly attempting to cross into Oman for medical treatment in Jordan when he was detained by Saudi-backed government forces. The arrest immediately sparked an ambush by armed men believed to be affiliated with the "Sit-in Committee," led by the influential and anti-coalition tribal leader Sheikh Ali Salem Al-Harizi. #المهره_اليومتم القاء القبض على القيادي الحوثيمحمد احمد علي الزايدي - عضو المكتب السياسي لجماعة الحوثي الارهابيةاثناء محاولته التسلل من منفذ صرفيت الحدودي مع سلطنة عمان وعقب اعتقاله شنت مجموعة مسلحة تتبع القيادي الحوثي هجوم على قوات الجيش والامن اسفر عن مقتل ضابط وجرح اخرين — عمـر الـسـلـيمي (@alsulimi21) July 8, 2025 As a military convoy of 10 vehicles departed from Al-Ghayda to transfer Al-Zaidi, it was ambushed en route to Sarafit. The resulting clashes killed Brigadier General Abdullah bin Zayed, the mission commander, and injured several soldiers. The confrontation also led to the complete shutdown of the Sarafit-Ghayda road, Al-Mahra's main international route to Oman. Tensions escalated further as the Houthis reportedly set up new checkpoints along the route, and armed tribal groups seized strategic highlands to block government reinforcements. Field sources confirmed that the road remains closed, and the detained tribal sheikh has not yet been transferred from the Sarafit area due to ongoing armed resistance. Rashad Al-Alimi, head of the Presidential Leadership Council, internationally recognized, convened an emergency meeting in Al-Mahra with defense and local officials to address the deteriorating security and discuss service restoration, project progress, and climate recovery efforts. Despite government efforts, the situation remains volatile. Local sources report that Omani officials may be mediating to prevent further escalation, as fears grow that loyalist tribes, especially those aligned with Sheikh Al-Harizi and sympathetic to Al-Zaidi, may expand the conflict. Critics argue the arrest risks dragging Al-Mahra, long considered a neutral and safe zone for patients and travelers, into the broader Yemen conflict. The area has until now largely remained outside the direct fighting, and many view this arrest as a dangerous shift toward militarizing one of Yemen's last functioning humanitarian corridors. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Murder trial of Ex-Minister's son sparks public reaction in Egypt
ALBAWABA - Former Egyptian Immigration Minister Nabila Makram Ebeid's remarks on her son, who is now on trial for murder in the United States, have generated a lot of interest and strong feelings on social media. Ebeid spoke openly about her son Rami, who is facing charges for fatally stabbing two people in California, during a broadcast interview with presenter Reham El Sahly on the platform "DMC Plus". On April 19, 2022, Rami reportedly stabbed his roommate and another person in their shared flat in this incident. Rami was discovered wounded before being sent to the hospital, and the murder weapon was located at the site. The former minister said in the interview that her son had authored a book called "99," which was named after his California prison number. She said that the book, which contains 99 inspirational sayings derived from his own experiences behind bars, is meant to provide young people with direction and inspiration. The book is being prepared for public distribution by an Egyptian publishing business. Ebeid spoke about her attempts to keep in touch with her son while he was imprisoned, including teaching him Arabic virtually using famous Naguib Mahfouz books like "Thebes at War," "Fate's Jest," and "Children of the Alley." Noting that he had read more than 70 English-language novels while confined, she commended his intellectual curiosity. "رامي ألف كتاب من 99 مقولة" نبيلة مكرم تكشف عن نصائح ابنها للشباب من داخل محبسه في أمريكا — الأقباط اليوم (@coptstoday) May 24, 2025 Speaking candidly about her son's mental health, the former minister said that he was given a schizophrenia diagnosis in 2021, a diagnosis she was not aware of at the time. She started an organization called "Fahim" to remove taboos and increase awareness about mental health in Egypt in response to his hardships and the societal stigma associated with mental illness. Born in the United States and employed by an American corporation before the event, Rami is now facing severe legal repercussions. His mother's public statements, which struck a balance between emotional introspection, support for mental health, and ongoing maternal care, have generated a lot of compassion and discussion on the internet. While the case is still pending in U.S. courts, it has rekindled conversations about family responsibility, mental health, and the difficulties experienced by prominent personalities dealing with personal issues in Egypt.
