Oman: Muscat secures freedom for French captive

Frenchman Alain Goma was released by his Houthi captors on 16 October and flown to Oman – the latest in a string of hostages who have been handed over to Muscat during the course of the Yemen war. Goma was captured on 8 July while sailing near the Houthi-controlled port of Hodeida, the current focus of Saudi-led coalition action.
