Yemeni President to Step Down in Return for Immunity

HeadlineNov 23, 2011

Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh appears to be on the verge of stepping down following months of massive protests against his longtime rule. Saleh has arrived in Saudi Arabia, where he is expected to sign an agreement to resign in return for immunity from prosecution. Brokered by the Gulf Cooperation Council, the deal will reportedly see Saleh hand off power to his vice president. Thousands of people have rallied in the Yemeni capital of Sana’a in protest of the deal. Yemeni groups have remained opposed to any immunity for Saleh and his regime.
