I guess it didn't work out the way he thought it would. I do feel sorry for his son, though, being burned like that.

• The son of isolated former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh has been injured with more than half of his body suffering from burns.

Despite this, Saleh — who is allied with the Houthis who support Iran — is the mastermind of the current mayhem in Yemen that erupted months ago. Saleh, the wounded fox, was betrayed by his own intelligence and hasn’t yet comprehended that his chances to return to power in Yemen are minimal. He was ousted following mass demonstrations across the country calling for his ouster. He should have realized back then that he had lost all legitimacy and credibility.
Just like he himself was burned by the revolution, he is now behind the burning of the political future of his eldest son Ahmad, whom he wanted the Yemenis to appoint as their president. What destroyed Saleh’s conspiratorial plan were the leaked details of the secret message, which he previously sent via his son Ahmad to Saudi Defense Minister Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The letter was leaked after Saleh appeared on a Yemeni television channel after the Saudi-led coalition began to bomb his forces. He claimed neutrality and patriotism saying he has always stood by a political solution and that he and his family members have no power ambitions.
He appeared as a lamb before the Yemeni people claiming his innocence in any involvement in the coup and war, which he had in fact caused. His lies pushed Riyadh to leak the details of the secret message. Al-Arabiya News Channel’s report aired details of how two days before the Saudi-led military attacks began, Saleh sent his son to negotiate a deal with the Saudis. The deal stipulated that he would be willing to stand by the Saudis and abandon his Houthi allies in exchange for a series of demands — which were all personal.
