High ranking coalition military officers defect to Sana'a following amnesty announcement

The capital, Sana’a, received the personal protection officer (PPO) of the former defense minister in the government loyal to the Saudi-led coalition and a number of military commanders.

Major Humam Muhammad Ali al-Maqdashi arrived in Sana’a accompanied by the commander of the first company of the so-called “Third Brigade Storm of the Borders,” Major Fatah al-Wasabi, in addition to three coalition recruits.

The National Centre for Returnees welcomed al-Maqdashi and al-Wasabi to Sana’a, stressing that the homeland accommodates all the people.

The returnees expressed their thanks for the warm reception, calling on the remaining colleagues in the coalition’s camps to take advantage of the general amnesty and return to the homeland.
