Protesters mistrust to terminate deal for Yemen leader

Mr Saleh offer, its Arab neighbors was put down, his opposition has accentuated the subunits. The opposition coalition, known as the J.M.P., said Sunday it welcomed the initiative, but only, if a Government of national unity after was founded in Mr Saleh, not immediately required as of the current proposal together with the Gulf Cooperation Council joined. The coalition parties want to be part of a Government with Mr Saleh.

The protesters are a harder line take and say that the J.M.P. is are affiliated with the requirements of the so-called "independent" youth non-permanent political parties. Leaders of some who said tens of thousands of street demonstrators - originally young people but now Yemenis from all segments of society, who have set up permanent protests camps in cities across the country - they suspected that Mr Saleh could wiggle of the business at a later date, and try to expand his 33-year rule.

Many said that by the youth protests in Tunisia and Egypt, the autocrat in these countries out relatively quickly and without conditions forced were inspired. They said they wanted a similar result here.

Some demonstrators of the outright rejected the offer. Others, as Atiaf Alwazir, a youth organizer in Sana'a, said that her, were at best mixed feelings. "It's just another game," she said. "Let do the J.M.P., to be politically what they do to negotiate, and the youth will do, what to do and remain on the road."

Mrs Alwazir, said the idea of immunity for Mr Saleh and his sons had shared many.

Protesters have repeatedly their rejection of the offer of immunity of the President, expressed, although on Sunday, there was some chatter about social-networking sites for a more pragmatic approach argue, when ushering Mr Saleh meant it to stop.

Typical for his political cunning and a movement set the feeling that Mr Saleh was adoption of the Gulf Cooperation Council proposal other demonstrators that seem to make opposition in a negative light, as if it were a work to stop the country from falling into chaos.

"This initiative is because of the regime," said Tawfiq al-Shaoubi, a protest leader in the city of Taiz, home of Yemen's largest demonstration. "We protest keep is," he said. "This regime must go, so we can a build a new modern society in the Yemen."

In Sana, protesters who camped out for weeks have seemed to not have the intention of moving and continue with their demonstrations on Sunday, singing, "No negotiation, no dialogue - withdraw or flee," according to Reuters.

In an interview with BBC Arabic, Mr Saleh said television on Sunday, that he would not hand over power, what he called "Insurgents."

"Who should I pass it?" he told the BBC. "Those who try to make a coup d ' état?" No We do it by polls and referendums. We are invite to monitor international observers. "All coup is rejected, because we are committed to the constitutional legitimacy and accept no chaos."

Mr Saleh also said that Al-Qaeda, which is known to have a presence in the country, had infiltrated protest camps. "Al Qaeda move in the camps, and this is very dangerous," he said. "Why is not on in the West this destructive work and their dangerous consequences for the future of search?"

Added its call, the ballot box to use the suspicion among his opponents. "The G.C.C. announced that he required himself, says after 30 days to leave, and he, that he is leaving only through the ballot box", said Ms. Alwazir, the youth leader. "There is no trust," she said. "First of all, as he is himself now contradict."

An independent Yemeni diplomat, who wanted to not be identified, said, that Mr Saleh seemed confused and reluctant to step aside, but he had his own learned from the experience of the Egypt and knew that he should take advantage of this offer of immunity.

He said that some in the opposition increase Yemen's delicate condition, with violence in remote provinces, and the economy ground to a halt, they were understood, ready why something compromising.

"Some leaders J.M.P. understand, the current status of the Yemeni scene", said the diplomat. "they recognize that Yemen faced on the edge of total collapse and possibly civil war." But others, saying, especially Islamists from the Islah party, to keep pressure, until she gives take signaling a split not only between demonstrators and the formal political parties, but also within the Coalition itself.
