Pressure on President Saleh to step down
International pressure is mounting on President Saleh to step down from power in Yemen and accept the Gulf Cooperation Council, GCC, proposal for power transfer in the country, a ruling party said.
A deal for Yemeni leader Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down after 32 years in power was thrown into doubt Sunday after the ruling regime brought hundreds of loyalists into the streets to protest the pact and said he would not sign unless a public ceremony were held that included opposition leaders.
