Yemen deal ‘could be signed within a week’
A senior opposition leader said the secretary-general of the Gulf Co-operation Council, Abdullatif al-Zayani, was expected to visit the capital Sanaa within days to determine the time and venue for signing a deal requiring Saleh to step down within 30 days.
“We expect an arrangement and signing of a deal to be completed — the sooner the better,” said opposition leader Mohammed Basindwa, who is seen as a top candidate to lead a transitional government.
