Hamid bin Abdullah bin Hussein al-Ahmar (Arabic: الشيخ حميد بن عبد الله بن حسين الأحمر) (born 1967) is a Yemeni politician currently living in exile alongside the rest of the politicians that fled Yemen during the Houthi takeover of Sana'a September 2014.
He is the former general secretary of the Preparatory Committee of the National Dialogue for the JMP and a member of opposition party Yemeni Congregation for Reform, commonly known as Islah.
"After all, the heinous murder of his ambitious uncle and grandfather led his father to mobilize the Hashid tribes, normally supporters of the Imam, to the side of the revolution when it broke out in north Yemen in 1962.
He went into buying, eventually owning cellular telecom Sabafon, the Islamic Bank of Saba, and at least a dozen other businesses which most of them have now been seized by the Houthi militia.
