Timeline
Sheikh Sadiq bin Abdullah bin Hussein bin Nasser al-Ahmar (الشيخ صادق الأحمر; 6 October 1956 – 6 January 2023) was a Yemeni politician and the leader of the Hashid tribal federation.
Sadiq al-Ahmar was born on 6 October 1956, in the village of al-Khamri, located in the 'Amran Governorate of Yemen.
His family moved to Sana'a after the establishment of North Yemen.
He studied at the undergraduate level in Egypt until his father's relationship with the Egyptian government deteriorated, forcing Sadiq to move back to Yemen to complete his studies.
Sadiq continued his studies in the United States beginning in 1982 after graduating in Yemen.
He returned to Yemen shortly after earning his small aircraft pilot's licence in 1987.
Al-Ahmar became a member of the Assembly of Representatives of Yemen in 1993, marking his formal entry into the Yemeni political system.
He ascended to the position of tribal chief after the death of his father, Abdullah al-Ahmar, in late 2007.
Unlike Abdullah, Sadiq and his brothers have not been seen as supporters of Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Sadiq had publicly condemned al-Qaeda and had voiced some support for Saleh's war against the terror organisation, but remained critical and suspicious of the president's motives, declaring that Saleh's primary intent was not to combat terrorism but to extract aid money from the United States.
He is best known for his role in the 2011 Yemeni uprising, in which fighters under his command attacked and seized government facilities in the Battle of Sana'a.
In February 2011, he stepped down from his position in the Yemeni General People's Congress in solidarity with the growing popular protest movement in Yemen.
Sadiq had initially tried to mediate between the opposition and Saleh, but after an incident on 18 March in which government troops opened fire on demonstrators, al-Ahmar formally broke with the regime and joined the opposition, prompting other tribal leaders to do the same.
Sadiq's relationship with the government continued to deteriorate as the uprising continued, culminating in the Battle of Sana'a, in which guards and tribesmen loyal to him attacked government soldiers and facilities in Sana'a beginning on 24 May, the bloodiest fighting seen in Yemen since the beginning of the uprising.
On 26 May, Saleh issued warrants for the arrest of Sadiq and the nine other al-Ahmar brothers, charging them with treason.
On the same day, the tribal leader vehemently insisted that he would not seek mediation with Saleh, calling the president a "liar" and saying that Saleh would "leave [Yemen] barefoot" if left in power.
Al-Ahmar died of cancer in Jordan, on 6 January 2023, at the age of 66.
