Yemen leader in Saudi Arabia for power-transfer deal

Ali Abdullah Saleh, the president of Yemen, has arrived in Saudi Arabia to sign a power-transfer deal brokered by the six-member Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC), the country's state television has reported.

The plan put forward last spring by the GCC countries offers Saleh and his relatives immunity from prosecution if he hands over power to his deputy, Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi, the vice president.

Signing the deal would effectively bring an end to Saleh's 33-year rule.

@kawaiigardiner 'Saudi Arabia - the United States closet ally in the middle east.'

They don't want to have to eat sand again like they did 80 years ago.

Besides, Assad is in Iran's pocket.

Don't trust Saleh or the Saudi Kingdom, cause the Saudi Kingdom is more corrupt than Salah,

the Saudi's kingdom has no credibility in the muslim world, its another america's puppet.
