Yemen: Opposition rejects Salehs formula

After the efforts of Gulf States, President Abdulah Saleh has accepted the plan to step down in 30 days after the formation of a unity government.The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) proposal urged the formation of a national unity government with 50 percent held by the ruling party, 40 percent by the opposition and 10 percent by other parties.The president would transfer his powers to his deputy, and then the protests would end, as would the defection of military leaders and soldiers.However, the opposition parties have rejected the plan.At least eight people have been killed in the recent protests and clashes in Yemen.
