Marib, Newsyemen, Marib al-Taweel:
Local sources in Marib said that security and military forces were chasing Somali migrants in the city, after hours of clashes with armed groups in the Wadi Ubaida area.
Marib authorities have accused the militants of being a Houthi cell.
According to sources, the security forces have arrested dozens of African refugees and migrants, and they are pursuing others and transporting them to one of the city's hangars, amid extensive security measures.
The security authorities in Marib claimed that the Africans pose a threat to the city, and that they have received information about the relationship of Houthi cells with them.
In this context, African detainees demanded the International Organization for Migration to intervene with the Marib authorities and to find a solution to their problem.
