A senior Yemeni government official, Engineer Abdulkafi Mohammed Shaher Al-Yousifi, Director General of the Guidance Department at the Ministry of Technical Education and Vocational Training, was abducted by armed men from his office in Aden on Saturday evening.
Local sources in the interim capital confirmed that unidentified gunmen stormed Al-Yousifi's office around 7:00 PM on Saturday before forcing him into an unknown vehicle and taking him to an undisclosed location.
Al-Yousifi's family has filed a formal complaint with the Public Prosecutor, stating they recognized several of the abductors. They identified these individuals as being from the Al-Bayda and Shabwah governorates, and reportedly provided the names and personal identification details of eight alleged kidnappers.
The family vehemently denies any prior disputes between Engineer Al-Yousifi and the armed group, emphasizing his lack of personal conflicts. They are holding the internationally recognized Yemeni government fully responsible for his safety and well-being. The family has issued an urgent appeal for immediate and decisive government intervention to secure Al-Yousifi's release and to bring the perpetrators, whom they accuse of undermining law and order, to justice.
