Mediations to Release Abo Lohoom’s Sons Failed [Archives:2000/11/Local News]

Attempts to release Sinan Abo Lohoom’s sons failed through. Al-Haymah tribes, where Sinan’s sons were held, affirmed that they won’t be released until their persons seized by Bin Najed in Joda’an, Mareb are released.
Reports show that Al-Haymah tribe refused the proposal presented by the president’s stipulating presenting 100 pieces of weapons to Al-Haymah tribe as arbitration on their murdered person.
Reports do also reveal that ten persons belonging to Joda’an were held recently as hostages by Al-Haymah tribes to ensure the release of their people seized by Bin Najed. Bin Najed in his turn wants to save his son from the death penalty after being accused of killing one person from Al-Haymah.
Political and tribal sources asserted that seizing Abo Lohoom’s sons is owed to some old disputes the authority wants to settle. This happens at a time Abo Lohoom asserts that he won’t connect his tribes’ conflicts to his sons.
It is worth noting that sheikh Abo Lohoom has called for all the sheikhs of the Yemeni tribes to his house to inform them of what has befallen his sons. He further asked them to find a suitable solution to this issue.
Sources told Yemen Times that sheikh Sinan Abo Lohoom is working these days on his autobiography in accordance with Yemen’s historical process which has considerably disturbed many top forces.
