Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Minute: on Ali Abdullah Saleh
Reports from Yemen say ex-President Ali Abdullah Saleh has been killed in fighting with his former allies. Until recently he has been supporting the Houthi rebels in their battle against the Saudi-led coalition. But last week he offered to "turn a new page" and work with his former enemies.
The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Mai Noman explains why his reported death is so significant to the current civil war in Yemen.
