Yemen said on Monday it has arrested more Africans on having links to the Houthi rebels who have been fighting the army in the far north since 2004, Saba reported on Monday.This time some 30 Somalis have been seized in Bok'a district, Saada, who were said to have played a role in the war between the army and the rebels in Saada and the district of Harf Sufyan in neighboring province of Amran.
The Somalis have fought the troops in support of the Houthis, the authorities said.
In the last few weeks, tens of Africans including 26 Somalis were arrested in Saada and sent to the State Jail in Sana'a ahead of standing trial on Houthi support charges.
The arrests took place in several Saada areas while the Africans were involved in the insurgency and subversion and came as the army continues to cleanse the north of the insurgency.
There were also reports revealing that the Houthis were recruiting Somalis in Lahj and sending them to Saada.
The move came after locals rejected to support the rebels and fight the troopshttp://www.yemenpost.net/Detail123456789.aspx?ID=3&SubID=1616
