Special/Aden Late on Sunday evening, the Al-Tawahi district of Aden Governorate witnessed a worrying kidnapping incident, targeting the young man Ibrahim Ali Obaid, while he was sitting in front of his house in the Bandar Jadeed neighborhood with a number of his friends. According to eyewitnesses, a red "Kia Rio" car with the number 59788 stopped next to the young man and his companions, and armed men wearing military uniforms got out of it. They pointed their weapons at Ibrahim, before one of them fired a shot that almost killed him, and then he was forcibly taken to an unknown destination. The incident, which was carried out in a shocking manner and in broad daylight, left a state of panic in the neighborhood, amid increasing popular demands to reveal the fate of the kidnapped young man. Relatives of the victim confirmed that Ibrahim is known for his peaceful behavior and good relations with everyone, and does not belong to any political movement or group, which increases the ambiguity of the motives behind the incident. Residents and activists on social media platforms wondered about the identity of the party that had the audacity to carry out an operation in this way in the heart of the temporary capital, Aden, demanding that the security authorities immediately reveal his fate and hold those involved accountable. It is noted that the family of the kidnapped young man has not yet received any official information or assurances about his place of detention or the party behind the incident, which has exacerbated their suffering and led to a widespread solidarity campaign.
