Tareq Mohammed Abdullah Saleh (Arabic:طارق محمد عبد الله صالح; born 1970) is aYemeni military commander and the nephew of the late PresidentAli Abdullah Saleh. He is currently a member of the presidential council of Yemen. His father was Major-GeneralMohammed Abdullah Saleh.[2]
Prior to thenational crisis beginning in 2011, he headed the elitePresidential Guard. In 2012, he was ordered to stand down from this position.[3] On 10 April 2013, he was appointed as amilitary attaché toGermany in an effort to remove the remnants of the previous regime.[4] He re-emerged as a commander in theHouthi-Saleh alliance when theYemeni Civil War broke out in 2015. When this alliancecollapsed in 2017, Tareq Saleh commanded troops loyal to his uncle. Prior to the collapse of the pro-Saleh forces, theSaudi-ownedAl 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 theHadi loyalist-heldShabwah Governorate.[7]
