Armed tribesmen loyal to Sheik Sadeq al-Ahmar stand guard, in front of a building damaged following clashes with security forces, in Sanaa on Saturday.
Yemen’s embattled president and the country’s most powerful tribal leader have agreed to end five days of gunbattles that killed 124 people and pushed the country’s political crisis closer to civil war.
The fighting between forces loyal to both men made the past week the deadliest since mass street protests for an end to President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s 33-year rule broke out three months ago. Although it could prevent bloodshed, Saturday’s agreement will do little to solve the wider crisis, with Mr. Saleh rejecting efforts to negotiate his exit.
The week’s battles began when Mr. Saleh’s security forces attacked the home of Sheik Sadeq al-Ahmar, head of the powerful Hashid tribal confederation and an uneasy ally who abandoned the president and joined his opponents. Tribal fighters came to al-Ahmar’s defense and seized a number of government buildings in the Hassaba neighborhood of the capital, Sanaa, during intense clashes.
Lets hope that this settlement ensures permanent peace for Yemenis!
