Will Saleh’s declaration put GCC-mediated deal into oblivion?

Yemen's president, Ali Abdullah Saleh called for an early presidential elections, without mention anything about the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) deal which had promised to end his three-decade rule.

We call for holding an early presidential election in democratic way and for peaceful power transition to avoid bloodshed, Saleh said.

Yemen has been witnessing unrest with anti-government protests demanding prosecution of Saleh for the last three months.

Saleh had promised to sign on the GCC deal as a party and not as a President but he had refused it altogether later
.
A Saudi diplomat in Sanaa said the GCC-mediated deal has apparently fell through after GCC chief Abdullatif al-Zayani left Sanaa on Wednesday evening following Saleh's the second time refusal to sign it. We have been tipped that Saleh is gearing up for exploding a military war, and what the ruling party has announced that Saleh would ink the GCC deal on Sunday is one of Saleh's maneuver to gain more time, reports said.
