Yemen's Saleh refuses to sign exit deal
- 12 years ago
The Gulf Co-operation Council is sending its secretary-general back to Yemen for talks with Ali Abdullah Saleh, the Yemeni president.
Protests continue in the capital Sanaa, calling for Saleh to resign immediately and face trial. He has refused to sign a deal with the opposition which was brokered by the GCC.
The agreement would have guaranteed him immunity from prosecution in exchange for ceding power but as Hashem Ahelbarra reports from Riyadh the deal is not dead quite yet.
