Tareq Mohammed Abdullah Saleh (
Yemeni Civil War broke out in 2015. When this alliance collapsed in 2017, Tareq Saleh commanded troops loyal to his uncle. Prior to the collapse of the pro-Saleh forces, the Saudi-owned Al Arabiya reported that negotiations were ongoing to form a military council in Saleh-held areas, which would have been headed by Tareq.[5]
Following his uncle's death, reports emerged that the younger Saleh had also been killed.[6] However, these were never confirmed, and Houthi forces launched a manhunt. Saleh evaded capture and eventually resurfaced in the Hadi loyalist-held Shabwah Governorate.[7]
