Deputy Foreign Minister in the National Salvation Government, Hussein Al-Ezzi, on Thursday confirmed that about 1,500 fighters from the people of Ma’rib in the ranks of the Saudi-led coalition forces have defected and returned to Sana’a.
In a tweet on his Twitter account, Al-Ezzi welcomed the returnees, saying: “We welcome the honorable free people, and we say welcome to them in your capital and among your family and your home.”
