Saleh last week betrayed his Houthi militia allies by attempting to make a power grab and gain control of Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, exclusively under his own factions control.
This comes as earlier today attempts were made to reconcile between Saleh and the current recognized Saudi-backed president, Hadi, who is based in Yemen’s second city of Aden.
Intense clashes have been raging between the Houthi militia and their tribal allies with the Saleh faction.
The Houthis, their tribal allies and the Yemeni army are resisting Saudi aggression on Yemen, but it seemed like Saleh was attempting to reconcile relations with Saudi Arabia.
