Credit: Reuters/Khaled Abdullah By Mohammed Ghobari and Mohamed Sudam SANAA | Fri Apr 8, 2011 12:55am EDT SANAA (Reuters) - A Gulf Arab plan for Yemen's president to step down would guarantee the veteran leader and his family immunity from prosecution, an opposition source said on Thursday, but youth activists said that should be rejected. The United States and Gulf Arab countries including Yemen's key financial backer, Saudi Arabia, appear ready to push aside a long-time ally against al Qaeda's Yemen-based wing to avoid a chaotic collapse of the poorest Arab state. Saleh's sometimes violent response to two months of protests against his 32-year rule has tried the patience of Washington and Riyadh, both of which have been the target of attempted attacks by al Qaeda's Yemen-based branch. The Gulf proposal for talks in Riyadh was presented to Saleh and a coalition of opposition parties this week. Saleh welcomed it, while the opposition has withheld its response, but set conditions that may derail any talks, according to a source. Gulf sources said the plan envisaged handing power to an interim council of tribal and political leaders who would help appoint a national unity government ahead of elections. An opposition source said the proposal would give Saleh and his family, whose control over key posts has long angered many Yemenis, immunity from prosecution. Youth activists said in a statement that was unacceptable. "We affirm that this is a people's revolution demanding the fall and the trial of a regime ... to build a new civilian state according to the will of the people, not international parties or political parties that do not represent us," said a statement in the name of protest groups in Sanaa. Talks in recent weeks, which included the U.S. ambassador in Sanaa, became bogged down over Saleh's demand for assurances that he and members of his family would not face prosecution. Saleh has been trying for several weeks to involve Saudi Arabia, his most important foreign backer, sending his foreign minister to Riyadh two weeks ago. The Gulf states' proposal envisages Saleh handing over power to a vice-president, the opposition source said. Current incumbent Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi has said he does not want such a role, which suggests Saleh would appoint a new figure. "They informed the opposition that their vision is based on Saleh leaving power after handing authority to his deputy and then forming a national unity government that will prepare a new constitution... and parliament elections," the opposition source said. "The Gulf vision is also based on Saleh's proposal that both he and General Ali Mohsen... leave Yemen, and the Gulf countries have committed to guarantees that Saleh and his family will not face prosecution after they leave," the source added. A senior opposition source said the coalition had told Gulf ambassadors that Saleh's immediate resignation was a non-negotiable condition, and he should not get immunity from lawsuits by families of those killed and wounded in the protests. "A third condition is that the youth movement, Houthis (Shi'ite rebels), the exiled opposition, and the Southern Movement (separatists) be part of any negotiations," the source said. A source in the ruling party said it might demand that other former allies of Saleh leave the country too, not just Mohsen -- a move that would complicate the mediation efforts. 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.
