| Ruling Party Says Teetering GCC Deal to Be Signed Sunday |
| 2011-05-21 |
| [Yemen Post] Yemen's ruling party said on Thursday that it and the opposition will sign the GCC power transition deal on Sunday, a day after President-for-Life Saleh ... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence... disappointed the Yemeni people and others when he refused to conclude that at the last minute of preparation for the signing. The opposition did not confirm a signing will take place next Sunday, after accusing Saleh of derailing the deal and maneuvers amid the boiling on the streets. Meantime, an opposition official told Aljazeera today that the GCC Foreign Ministers will meet on Yemen in coming days in Soddy Arabia. The meeting will apparently be to revive the deal after the GCC Secretary General Abdul Latif Al-Zayani failed to secure a signing on his third visit to Yemen this week. The youth-led antigovernment protesters reiterated their refusal to any initiative giving immunity to Saleh from prosecution and not ensuring an immediate, unconditional ouster of the regime. They have called on the GCC countries to withdraw their West-backed plan and take decisive action against Saleh. Today, the U.S. and La Belle France criticized Saleh for not finalizing the deal and urged all parties to conclude that immediately. |
