Government sources in Hadhramaut said, on Tuesday evening, that coordination and arrangement for the exchange of prisoners and detainees between the legitimate government and the Houthi militia is underway at the end of this week in the eastern province.
According to "Newsyemen" sources, the city of Seiyun will be the site of exchange for both parties, under the supervision of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
It stated that the International Committee of the Red Cross is holding meetings with the security and military authorities in Hadramout to secure the safe and error-free transfer of prisoners from both sides.
The prisoners of the legitimate government’s army will arrive at Seiyun International Airport by a special plane from Sana’a airport, while the Houthi’s prisoners will arrive by land, and they will be transported by the same plane to transport the legitimate prisoners to Sana’a.
