On his way at last?

摘要

After nearly three months of protests and more than a hundred deaths, a deal has been brokered by the Gulf Cooperation Council, a club of six Sunni monarchies, that provides for Ali Abdullah Saleh, Yemen's beleaguered president, to step down within 30 days. Presidential elections would then be held within 60 days. The General People's Congress, Mr Saleh's ruling party, and a coalition of opposition parties have agreed to the pact, which contains a string of conditions. Mr Saleh and his family will be immune from prosecution.
