SANAA, June 5 | Sun Jun 5, 2011
(Reuters) - The Ahmar group, leader of Yemen's Hashed tribal federation that has been locked in battle against troops loyal to Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, has agreed to abide by a day-old truce, the opposition said on Sunday.
Acting President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who took over after Saleh was wounded in an attack two days ago, had asked the powerful tribal federation to agree to a ceasefire aimed at stopping deadly street fighting in the capital of Sanaa.
