Yemen ex-president released from house arrest, leaves Sanaa
Yemen's former president Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi left his official residence after weeks of house arrest by the Houthi militia on Saturday and flew to his home town of Aden, witnesses and a political source said, Reuters reported.
It was not immediately clear if he had been released from house arrest by the Houthis, who besieged his home and the presidential palace last month, leading him to resign, or if he had escaped.
The United Nations, which oversaw a new power-sharing agreement between the Houthis and Yemen's other rival factions on Friday, helped him travel to Aden, a senior political source told Reuters.
Hadi's Sanaa residence was looted by Houthi militiamen after he left, witnesses said, but the former president arrived at his home in the Aden district of Khormaksar, sources told Reuters.
