Saleh is currently in Saudi Arabia, where he is receiving treatment for serious injuries from a blast early this month at his palace in the Yemeni capital that left him severely burned with severe burns and chunks of wood in his chest.
In his message to King Abdullah, Sadeq al-Ahmar, the influential tribal chief who was an ally of Saleh before switching sides to join the opposition, appealed to the Saudi monarch to prevent Saleh from returning to Yemen.
“His return will lead to sedition and civil war,” al-Ahmar said, according to a statement from his office. Saudi Arabia is a key player in Yemen, and has pressed Saleh in the past to negotiate a settlement to Yemen’s political turmoil.
Hundreds of thousands of Yemenis, inspired by uprisings elsewhere in the Mideast, have been protesting daily since late January demanding the ouster of Saleh, who has ruled Yemen for nearly 33 years. Their campaign has been largely peaceful, but fighting erupted in Sanaa between Saleh loyalists and fighters from al-Ahmar’s powerful tribal confederation, the Hashid, after troops moved to attack al-Ahmar’s residence.
The fighting has tapered off since Saleh left for Saudi Arabia, and vice president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, became acting president following Saleh’s departure.
The opposition on Tuesday accused Saleh’s inner circle and family of hindering the opposition’s dialogue with Hadi.
“Saleh’s sons are not helpful in solving the problem and they don’t help the acting president to exercise his constitutional powers,” opposition spokesman Abdullah Oubal said.
Yemen’s opposition parties have sought to persuade Hadi and Saleh’s 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.
The president’s son Ahmed, who commands the country’s best trained military forces, the Republican Guard, and is the main force maintaining his father’s grip on power, opposes such discussions.
Saleh’s close aide and adviser, Abdul-Karim al-Iryani, arrived Tuesday in Riyadh for talks with Saleh who requested the meeting. A leading member of the ruling party, commenting on reports that Saleh and al-Iryani were discussing a transfer of power, said he expected “very important decisions” to come out after the meeting.
He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
The United States fears that Yemen’s power vacuum will give even freer rein to al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen, which Washington believes is the terror network’s most active franchise. Already, Islamic militants — some suspected of ties to al-Qaida — have taken control of at least two areas in the restive southern province of Abyan.
Late Monday and early Tuesday, government warplanes bombed suspected militant hideouts in Abyan, killing at least 22 al-Qaida-linked fighters, a defense ministry official said on condition of anonymity in line with ministry regulations.
