Opposition Sticks to GCC Proposal, Says No Changes to It |
2011-05-10 |
![]() Muhammad Qahtan, the front man for the Joint Meeting Parties, the opposition bloc, said:" we take the proposal which President-for-Life Saleh ... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence... refused to sign and which remains unchanged". ... which implies he's not only not gonna sign it, he's gonna ignore it... On Friday, reports said that the GCC submitted a new version of the initiative, but Abdul Latif Al-Zayani, the GCC head, said that they only added the names of the officials from the government and the opposition who will sign the deal in Sana'a. Recently, Al-Zayani asked both sides to present a list of 15 officials each, expressing hope and optimism the West-backed effort will end the months-long crisis in Yemen. The initiative was rejected by the hundreds of thousands of antigovernment protesters in the squares of change and freedom in most of the Yemeni cities. Under it, Saleh will quit and the protests should end. |
