Yemeni Defense Minister apologizes over tribal feud remarks

The article discusses the apology of Yemen's Minister of Defense, Lieutenant General Taher Al-Aqili, following a statement issued by the Ministry of Defense warning against participation in tribal gatherings known as "Al-Nakif Al-Qabali." These gatherings have been used for military mobilization and exploitation by the Houthi group. Al-Aqili confirmed that the Yemeni forces will not target civilian gatherings, whether they are called "Al-Nakif" or otherwise, affirming that Yemeni tribes play a vital role in the project to restore the state. The ministry stated that the warning was to prevent the Houthis from exploiting these gatherings to mobilize fighters. It also denied any coalition support for Houthi attacks targeting tribes. The article explains that "Al-Nakif Al-Qabali" is a social tradition aimed at defensive solidarity, but the war has led parties to exploit it for military mobilization, amid escalating clashes between the Yemeni government and the Houthis in various regions.
