Aden, Newsyemen:
The assassination of the photojournalist Nabil Hassan Al Qaiti, shocked the public opinion. His journey as a journalist started 12 years ago and his lens was a military lens and documented the defeats and massacres of the Houthi and Brotherhood militias.
Al-Qaiti was a father of three children. He accompanied the launch of the southern resistance step by step in the battles of the liberation of Aden, Lahj, Abyan, and even Al Hodeidah governorate. He was a military lens and accompanied all the military victories.
Al-Qaiti worked as a cameraman with the French news agency, Al-Arabiya and Al-Hadath. He worked hard in keeping pace with the events taking place in the southern governorates through his pages on social networks.
Al-Qaiti was known for his stance in favor of the Southern cause and the Southern Transitional Council, which made him a target for extremist groups, especially with the media incitement campaigns that targeted him among those affiliated with the Brotherhood.
Al-Qe’iti’s career extended from keeping pace with the activities of the peaceful Southern Movement in mid-2007 until the battles of the liberation of Aden and the South in March 2015 before moving with his lens to the governorate of Abyan, which is witnessing a fierce war triggered by the Brotherhood early this year.
Al-Qaiti was known for his field coverage and his strong presence in flaming lines, which turned him into an integrated archive and a strong media front that managed to expose the violations of the Houthi and Brotherhood groups in the south.
Al-Qaiti documented the crimes of the aggression of the Houthi militia on Aden and the south, the tragedy of displacement and famine in Al-Dhalea, Lahj, Al-Hodeidah, Abyan, Marib, Taiz and others.
He was also able to photograph all the crimes of terrorist groups and the post-liberation Brotherhood, and the state of destruction left by the battles of the liberation of Aden and the southern governorates.
Social media turned into an open lament after the killing of Al-Qaiti by terrorist elements who assassinated him in front of his house in Dar Saad in Aden.
Activists accused the Muslim Brotherhood of standing behind his assassination in a scheme aimed at striking the southern issue, and spreading terror and panic and suppressing its voices and media platforms.
Politician and journalist Amin Al-Waeli said in a tweet on his account on "Twitter", that Nabil exposed their lies and conveyed their defeats and they got rid of him not with the battlefield they are losing, but as usual they act cowardly and left.
He added, Nabil Al-Qaiti was a martyr before he was martyred, if you check back his archive, in which he recorded the defeats of the Houthis in Aden to Al Hodeidah on all fronts, and they conquered with the south, so their defeat was documented.
He pointed out that the people of the Yemeni North are the ones who lost Nabil more and his loss in this way is a real tragedy.
"May God have mercy on him, Nabil Al-Qaiti, was an example of the brave journalist, accompanied by his lens all the events since the liberation of Aden in 2015, through the liberation of Hodeidah until the confrontations of Abyan, before he was assassinated by bullets left today in Aden."
