Yemen's Saleh to quit after 33 years in power
Yemen’s President Ali Abdullah Saleh agreed to step down within 30 days under a U.S.-backed deal amid months of protests that left security weakened and al-Qaida’s Yemen branch more able to operate. The agreement grants him immunity, sets elections within 90 days, and forms a two-year transitional unity government. Protesters rejected the immunity and pressed for full democratic reforms as Obama and regional leaders welcomed the transition.
