| 2011-10-19 |
| [Yemen Post] In statement issued to the press the Information Committee for the Army of the Revolution announced this evening that it had reached a truce with the government, as both parties agreed to stop the bloodshed in Hasaba district of the capital. For the past 4 consecutive days, Hasaba had been subjected to intense bombings from the government forces as president Saleh is believed to want to destroy Sheikh Sadeeq al-Ahmar defenses in this northern district of the capital to better re-assert his hold over the capital. On another related matter, sources within the Defense Minister announced that the government has ordered defected General Mohsen Ali Mohsen to withdraw all his troops, without exception, from the capital, Sana'a, adding that the 1st Armored Division should retreat some 200 kilometers away or war would ensue. |
