Sana'a: The sons of the African communities in Sana'a organized a cultural evening commemorating the anniversary of the Day of the Guardianship (Yawm al-Wilayah) of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) for the year 1447 AH.

According to Yemen News Agency, during the evening, the head of the Somali community, Ibrahim Abdul Qader, emphasized the importance of commemorating the anniversary of Yawm al-Wilayah, considering the esteemed status of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) in the conscience of the nation.
