Credit: Reuters/Khaled Abdullah By Mohammed Ghobari SANAA | Wed Apr 6, 2011 11:05am EDT SANAA (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of people pressed opposition demands on Wednesday for Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh to resign, a standoff Gulf Arab ambassadors hope to help resolve at talks in neighboring Saudi Arabia. The ambassadors, members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, met opposition figures at the Saudi Embassy in Sanaa to issue an invitation after Saleh accepted the GCC mediation on Tuesday. "We only expect something good from our brothers. But it will take time before we can talk about the details," opposition parties spokesman Mohammed Qahtan said after the meeting. Faced with mass demonstrations demanding an end to his 32-year rule, Saleh is clinging to power in the poorest country in the Middle East, from which al Qaeda has planned attacks on the United States. He ignored a transition-of-power plan offered by the opposition on Saturday. In Saudi Arabia, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates was due to discuss the unrest sweeping the region with King Abdullah, who has not seen mass protests but is concerned by Shi'ite complaints of discrimination and high youth unemployment. Saleh has insisted for weeks he will leave once he has overseen parliamentary and presidential elections this year, rejecting an opposition proposal to allow the vice president, Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, to become temporary head of state. "The president will not leave his historic role early, before the transition of power ... This issue is important," Saleh adviser Ahmed al-Sufi told Al Arabiya television. Opposition sources have said talks stalled in recent weeks over Saleh's demands that he and his family should not face prosecution over corruption accusations by the opposition. "I don't think Saudi is looking to identify a successor ... Saudi's plan is to break the current deadlock," said Saudi commentator Jamal Khashoggi. "The end-game for Saudi is the stability of Yemen and that can only be guaranteed by Saleh stepping down and the start of a constitutional process similar to that of Egypt." On Tuesday, an opposition source said security forces in the southern port city of Aden had detained six people for mobilizing students to join a civil disobedience campaign that has kicked off in South Yemen in recent days, with shops, schools and some government offices closed for part of the day. Tens of thousands resumed protests in Taiz, south of Sanaa, on Wednesday and security forces shot in the air to try to disperse them. There were no reports of casualties. Tension has risen this week in a standoff that started in February when protesters began camping out outside Sanaa University. On Monday, security forces and armed men in civilian clothes fired on protesters in Taiz and the Red Sea port of Hudaida, killing 21 people. On Tuesday, security forces and armed men again attacked a crowd of tens of thousands of protesters in Taiz, residents said. Protesters responded by hurling rocks. Three people were killed in clashes in the capital Sanaa. 1 2 Next World Yemen Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
