Re: U.S. Flees Yemen
Immunity to ensure a peaceful transition signed off by the government of Yemen, while the situation has deteriorated since he's left if him stepping down led to prosecution I doubt he would give up power.
Yeah, that was afterwards.
Yemen's new national unity government, comprised of an equal number of opposition and loyalist ministers, approved the law in accordance with the transfer agreement that Saleh signed in neighboring Saudi Arabia late last year.
The agreement, brokered by Yemen's powerful Arab neighbors and backed by the United States, grants Saleh immunity in exchange for him hand handing over powers to his deputy. Saleh is scheduled to hand over the presidency to his vice president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, on Feb. 21.....snip~
