The Yemen War
Since Prince Ahmad criticized the Saudi-led war on Yemen, he did not leave his residence in London and returned to his country only days ago, some Saudi sources told the newspaper.

Prince Ahmed bin Abdul Aziz said earlier that the ruling Saudi family had nothing to do with what was happening in Yemen, and that some Saudi leaders were solely responsible for what was happening in that context.

Prince Ahmed also asked that "the whole family should not be held responsible," pointing out that the officials were "the king and the crown prince". Adding that he hoped that "peace will be achieved in Yemen or elsewhere, as soon as possible."

"It is clear that the ruling Saudi family wants to hide all the evidence that confirms Prince Ahmad's opposition to the Saudi Crown Prince.
