SANAA (Debriefer)--The Ansar Allah group, known as the Houthis, on Wednesday appointed head of the Yemeni media union Abdullah Sabri as its new ambassador to Syria.
Sabri was injured along with members of his family in a Saudi-led airstrike on their home in downtown the capital Sanaa in May 2019. His mother and two of his sons were killed in the attack.
President of the group's political council Mahdi Al-Mashat issued a decree appointing Sabri as an extraordinary ambassador of the republic of Yemen to the Syrian Arab republic, the Houthi-run Saba news agency reported.
He succeeded Nayef Al-Qanis who was appointed by the group as the ambassador to Syria in 2016.
