Arab Parliament have called on Yemen’s President Saleh to hand power to the people who are the source of power, as it affirmed its refusal to any attempts to divide the Yemeni people and its commitment to supporting the Yemeni unity and stability, alsahwa-yemen.net reported on Tuesday.

The announcement was made at the emergency meeting of the Parliament in Egypt’s capital Cairo that was dedicated to discussing the deteriorating situations in some Arab countries facing uprisings seeking the ouster of regimes.

Yemen has been gripped by six-month protests calling for the ouster of the regime, in the last few months  crises have started to deepen largely affecting the national economy and livelihoods.

Saleh, convalescing in Saudi Arabia after a June assassination attempt, is clinging to power and has recently delivered a speech in which he said urged dialogue and attacked the opposition. 

In the speech, Saleh indirectly hinted at his readiness to resign as the president continues to face mounting external pressure to transfer power to his deputy and stay in Saudi Arabia

The Parliament also urged to revive and activate a GCC-brokered power transition plan to lift Yemen out of its crisis, at a time when  the six-month protests calling for the ouster of the Saleh regime are continuing, with the people urging an immediate revolutionary resolution.
