The rest of the fiery statements about stepping down, he repeated this year, three times,Vmjeriat Arab spring turned the table and changed the political rules of the game, and the Yemeni opposition, which was repair requests, the requests by pressing thedeparture of President peaceful popular revolution in the streets of Yemen.

Under the agreement, the time that the President shall declare to the people of the steps the transfer of power and determine its position of acceptance or rejection, but Saleh announced days after the masses, many supporters as courts Sanaa sporting a new initiative to resolve the crisis suggested a referendum on a new constitution before the end of 2011, and the transition to parliamentary system which has an elected parliamentary government with all executive powers.


Safe handsOn March 27 / March, threw for a speech to his supporters state television, which he stressed the lack of adherence to authority and willingness to give up our right to the blood, but conditioned to be handed over power to the hands of "faithful" not to the hands of "malicious and frivolous and conspirator."
The president described in his speech some of his opponents Bamoamaren and conspirators, and that they "want to have power over the skulls of martyrs and children."He added, addressing rallies, "We are with you, are firm and steadfast against all challenges."
After that, the Yemeni President, a presentation of the opposition during a meeting with the head of the Yemeni Grouping for Reform of the Islamic Muhammad Aledoma late March / last March, is that to continue in office until the elections, to convey his powers to a transitional government, but the opposition has declared that for a lot of proposals The maneuvers to prolong its life and save his family.

Saleh said during a meeting with dozens of scholars of religion, "We are tired of power after 32 years and Simona people, but we want the transition of power through peaceful means."
He warned of a split in favor of Yemen if the opposition came to power and said, "will not be able to judge one week, and for sure, and that Yemen will be divided into four Ohtar."
Saleh said, addressing the religious scholars of the Shafi'i and Zaidi, "agreed among yourselves to go out to dissolve lead to the Yemen out of its plight, and you will be the solution you from his hand and the contract."
After this statement, about a week, and has accelerated the pace of the resignation of government officials and businessmen from the government and the GPC ruling, said the Yemeni president that he will remain in office until his term ends in 2013, rejecting an opposition plan to step down at the end of 2011, and offered instead since giving up power when his term expires and the adoption of the current package is less ambitious political reforms.
In addition to the total positions and the Yemeni president's remarks on sentence, he fell three times already for the signing of the peace initiative undertaken since the Gulf for four months and which would form a government-led opposition, and the transfer of power to his deputy before parliamentary and presidential elections early.
