ADEN, May 21 (Saba) - The Eritrean Authorities have released 15 Yemeni fishermen in its custody, Yemen's charge d'affaires in Asmara said Wednesday.
The fishermen are on their way home, Mohammed al-Azzani said, adding another 26 fishermen will be freed in the coming two days.
Eritrea released 154 Yemeni fishermen late in April.
Some 342 fishermen, who had been held captives in Eritrea, were released during months from February – May 2014. About 1,673 other fishermen were released last year, al-Azzani said.
The Yemen Embassy in Eritrea is still pursuing the release of the rest of Yemeni fishermen detained there, he said.
