Summary
Home
Although Yemen’s President Ali Abdullah Saleh signed the Gulf Cooperation Council’s (GCC) power transition deal on November 23, an end to protests and violence is far from certain.

Yemen’s Vice President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi selected the opposition leader Mohammed Basindwa to serve as interim Prime Minister to oversee the creation of a national reconciliation government prior to presidential elections scheduled for February 21, 2012. Hadi is currently the sole candidate for February’s election and has been endorsed by both the ruling General People's Congress Party and the opposition coalition Joint Meeting Parties (JMP).
