YEMEN - Opposition (but not the street) accepts the plan to end the Gulf Crisis

The coalition of opposition parties accepted the plan to end the crisis presented by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). It provides for the departure within thirty days of President Ali Abdullah Saleh and the establishment of a transitional government composed of ministers, half of the current regime, 40% of members of the opposition and for the remaining 10% of representatives of protest.

Several groups of protesters refuse the plan and demand the immediate departure of President Saleh.
