Hundreds of pro government armed tribesmen took to the streets on Wednesday following a pro government tribal conference in the capital Sana’a.

Tens of tribesmen told Yemen Post that they are planning to stay in the capital until President Saleh comes back to Yemen from Saudi Arabia.

The tribes launched on Tuesday a massive tribal coalition, in a show of strength by Yemen’s ruling General People Congress party.

At least 4000 pro government officials and tribesmen, including senior leaders, came out with a joint statement stressing that President Saleh is the legitimate ruler of Yemen and cannot be ousted only through elections.

The new pro government tribal coalition raised speculations of a possible tribal war in a country where more than six hundred have died over the last three month due to clashes.  

The pro government tribes vowed to defend President Saleh under all circumstances.
