Yemen President Ali Abdullah Saleh Refuses To Sign Resignation Deal 
--------------------------------------------------------------------



Yemen is facing a new political crisis after President Ali Abdullah
Saleh refused to sign a deal to resign from office in exchange for
immunity from prosecution. The deal was brokered by Gulf Arab states and
had already been agreed to by Yemen's ruling party, the General People's
Congress. Saleh has ruled Yemen for 32 years.
