Yemen’s opposition called for President Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down immediately, backing away from a Gulf agreement on a 30-day transitional period.
“The accord as it stands is no longer acceptable to us unless it provides for his immediate departure,” Mohammed al-Mutawakkil, a member of the opposition Joint Meeting Parties’ higher council, said in a telephone interview in the capital Sana’a.
