Yemeni outgoing President Ali Abdullah Saleh has left the country on Sunday amid popular calls for putting him to trial for crimes committed against peaceful protesters.
Saleh has left the presidential Palace along with his family on a private jet, according to ruling family sources.
Some sources close to the Islamist Islah Party has confirmed to Yemen Post that Saleh was seen along with many of his family members in Sanaa international airport waiting for his flight.
"We don't know where Saleh is heading but probably he will go to Sultanate of Oman or the US," the sources added.
On Saturday, Sultan al-Barakani, a high-profile figure in Saleh's General People Congress party revealed Saleh will visit Oman, Ethiopia and United States of America respectively; however he asserted he would come back home.
Saleh, 70, has been under immense pressure from the rich GCC monarchies to leave the country in order to give way for the National Reconciliation Government to lead the country in this critical period in the history of the country.
Saleh has signed a deal under which he transferred executive powers to VP Abdul Rabu Mansour Hadi, who will run for Presidential elections as the sole candidate for both former ruling GPC party and opposition Joint Meeting Party, the main opposition bloc in the country.
Tens of thousands of protesters took to street across the country today to protest against passing the immunity law by the Parliament on Saturday and demanding he be accountable for all his heinous crimes against peaceful protesters for no reason but calling for change. "Whether they pass the law or not he, [referring to Saleh] will be put to trial and be accountable for killing peaceful protesters." Hani al-Hadal , a leading protester at Sana'a Change Square.
