The mediation committee between President Saleh and the Ahmar clan is blaming Saleh for the attacks. A member of the committe told Yemen Post "Ahmar family agreed to stop fire and Saleh knew that.".

"We were on the phone with Saleh telling him that Sadeq ahmar will stop using force. Saleh did not listen and minutes later a missile hit the house injuring or killing the mediation committee."

"We are assure now that Saleh does not want to stop the chaos and attacks even if Sadeq agrees to that."

"The mediation committee blame Saleh for the attacks and killings INSIDE THE AHMAR RESIDENCE. no one else will be held accountable."

"For this, we step aside from our mediation and stand in the side of Sadeq Ahmar against Ali Abdullah Saleh."
