From Hakim Almasmari, For CNN / July 15, 2011 -- Updated 0231 GMT (1031 HKT).

Yemeni men and children hold up portraits of President Ali Abdullah Saleh during a pro-regime rally in Sanaa on July 1.

Sanaa, Yemen (CNN) -- President Ali Abdullah Saleh will return to his country Sunday, a homecoming that also marks the 33rd anniversary of his rule, a senior ruling party official said Wednesday.

Zaid Thari, a political advisor for Saleh's ruling General People Congress Party, said the president's health is improving quickly and that Yemenis will celebrate his return.

"The Yemeni government all along insisted that Saleh's health situation was not major," Thari said.

Saleh has been undergoing medical treatment in Saudi Arabia following a June 3 attack on the presidential compound that left him severely burned.

But even during his treatments -- which included eight surgeries -- Saleh was under pressure to embrace a political transition plan developed by the Gulf Cooperation Council that included plans for him to step down, following months of widening anti-government protests and sentiment in his country.

Yemen Crisis: Allies say Yemeni president to return home in days!

By AHMED AL-HAJ, Associated Press – 5 hours ago.

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Yemen's president plans to return home within days after treatment in Saudi Arabia for serious injuries in an attack on his palace, officials said, as hundreds of thousands of his opponents rallied in the streets Friday to say he would not be welcome back.

President Ali Abdullah Saleh was badly burned in the June 3 blast at his palace, which wounded other members of his senior leadership and killed at least 11 guards. In his absence, Yemen's opposition parties have sought to persuade the ruling party to join them in a transitional leadership that would effectively shut out Saleh, who has resisted tremendous pressure at home and abroad to step down.

But loyalists have insisted the president will return and resume his duties, and Saleh's powerful son Ahmed, who commands some of the country's best trained military forces, has remained behind in Yemen to help maintain his father's hold.

Ruling party official Yasser al-Yamani said plans to welcome the embattled leader are under way.

"He will return home after medical reports said he is getting better," he told The Associated Press Friday.

By Donna Abu Nasr Business  Week., June 04, 2011, 10:04 PM EDT.

June 5 (Bloomberg) -- Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, wounded in an attack on his compound June 3, flew yesterday to Saudi Arabia for medical treatment as his vice president assumed his duties, a Yemeni government spokesman said.

Yemen’s Vice President Abduraboo Mansur Hadi has taken over Saleh’s duties “until the president returns,” government spokesman Abdu Janadi said.

Arriving in Riyadh, Saleh walked from the plane and had signs of burns on his face and chest, according to a correspondent for Al Arabiya television. He was accompanied by about 35 people and was admitted to a military hospital, it said. A second plane, carrying about two dozen members of his family, arrived later, Al Jazeera said, without saying where it obtained the information.

SANA, Yemen — Yemen’s embattled leader, Ali Abdullah Saleh, was lightly injured in an artillery attack by opposition figures on the presidential palace, his spokesman said.

The spokesman, Abdel al-Jandi, said that Mr. Saleh was in a mosque located within the palace compound when the shelling occurred. He did not elaborate on Mr. Saleh’s injuries. Another government spokesperson, Mohammed al-Basha, said via Twitter that senior government officials were injured in the attack. The attack came during a large rally of Mr. Saleh’s supporters near the palace and set off intense fighting in the south of Sana, the capital, which had largely been spared during nearly two weeks of pitched street fighting around the capital.

Mr. Jandi said Mr. Saleh would hold a televised news conference within the hour to dispel rumors that he had died. Streaming video showed protesters in a central square celebrating the attack on the presidential palace.

I hope President Saleh's misrule is coming to end!

Tribesmen in Sana on Sunday, as the government and tribal rivals agreed to a cease-fire.

By NASSER ARRABYEE and J. DAVID GOODMAN

Published: May 30, 2011

SANA, Yemen — The Yemeni government ratcheted up its violent response to opponents on two fronts Monday, pounding a major coastal city with airstrikes aimed at dislodging Islamic militants, and smashing the country’s largest antigovernment demonstration in overnight clashes that killed more than a dozen protesters, according to witnesses reached by phone.

Residents in the coastal city of Zinjibar said warplanes attacked militant positions with repeated bombing runs beginning early Monday afternoon, a day after Islamist militants took control of the city, seizing banks and a central government compound. The army shelled the compound, which was also the target of many of the airstrikes, according to witnesses in the city.

As bombs fell in the restive south, security forces and plainclothes gunmen swept through a main square in the central city of Taiz, driving out thousands of antigovernment protesters and violently dismantling the country’s largest continuous sit-in.

What happened to the truce agreement signed between Saleh and the Opposition Leader?

Yemen Resistance: Forty killed in Yemen fighting, civil war looms!

Brickbats, Bouquets & Backfeeds are welcome on prmadhura@yahoo.com



By Samia Nakhoul and Mohammed Ghobari | Reuters – 1 hour 52 minutes ago.

SANAA (Reuters) - More than 40 Yemenis were killed in pitched street battles in the capital on Thursday as fighting aimed at ending President Ali Abdullah Saleh's three-decade-long rule threatened to ignite civil war.

Residents were fleeing Sanaa by the hundreds, hurriedly fastening possessions to the roofs of cars, hoping to escape the violence that has killed more than 80 people since Monday.

The fighting, pitting the security forces of President Ali Abdullah Saleh against members of the country's most powerful Hashed tribe led by Sadiq al-Ahmar, was the bloodiest Yemen has seen since protests began in January. The battles threatened to spread into other parts of the capital Sanaa.

Why UNSC is not intervening?
