Saleh, Opposition to Conclude Power-Sharing Deal Next Week



 Yemen Post Staff

The ruling and opposition parties confirmed on Friday (click title to entry - thank you) they will conclude the GCC power transition plan next week, though the government suggested that on Sunday and the opposition on Saturday.
On Wednesday, President Saleh refused to sign the deal after he suggested earlier that five from the General People's Congress, the governing party, and five from the Joint Meeting Parties, the opposition bloc, sign the deal.
He asked to change the five representatives from the opposition, triggering the anger of the GCC Secetary General, Abdul Latif Al-Zayani, who arrived in Yemen on a third visit this week to push the West-backed effort.
Al-Zayani blamed Saleh as being the only obstacle to signing and left the country without securing the deal that would see Saleh resign and end the month-long crisis....


If the power sharing authority will have issues with military conflict then disarm the military, institute Marshall Law and allow the police to remain in force during the transition.  I am confident the USA will be happy to receive any armaments that would cause problems to the global community.

It seems to me power-sharing is a viable solution to the entire region, actually.
