Suhail TV channel sponsored by Sheikh Hamid al-Ahmar, a prominent leader of Islah party that is leading the uprising in Yemen called on the Yemeni people to boycott Saudi products in protest for what the channel alleged of the Saudi support for president Saleh and for allegedly standing against the Yemeni revolution.
Yemen Observer newspaper said that Hameed al-Ahmar, a powerful businessman and a leader of the dominant Islah party, who threw their weight behind the protest wave, refused to meet the GCC Secretary General, Abdullatif al-Zayani, and asked him to leave immediately, a request al-Zayani accepted and left at night. He also demanded through his TV channel, Suhail, the Yemeni people to boycott Saudi products and accused Al-Saud of supporting Saleh’s regime.
Saudi Arabia long financial and political support for al-Ahmar family of the Hashid tribe got lukewarm after leaked documents showed on early September that one of al-Ahmar family received money from the Libyan regime in order to destabilize the security of Saudi Arabia.
