Yemen President Agrees to Power Transfer, No Timetable

也门总统同意移交权力但没有时间表

Yemen's president has welcomed a proposal by the Gulf Cooperation Council ((GCC)) that he transfer powers to his vice president, saying he is prepared to hand over power "peacefully within the framework of the constitution." The six-nation GCC did not specify a time frame for the power transfer, however, and the statement from Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh on Monday appears to indicate that he agrees to transfer power after the next elections in 2013.

也门总统欢迎海湾合作委员会的建议，让他把权力过渡给副总统，他表示愿意“在宪法的框架下和平地”交出权力。六国海湾合作委员会没有具体规定权力交接的时间框架，但是，也门总统萨利赫星期一的声明似乎暗示他同意在2013年下届选举后过渡权力。

Yemen's opposition on Monday rejected the initiative proposed by the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain.Protesters have called for an immediate end to Mr. Saleh's 32-year rule and do not accept the GCC proposal's protections from prosecution for the president and his family.

星期一，也门反对派拒绝了沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋、卡塔尔、阿曼、科威特和巴林的外交部长的建议。也门抗议者呼吁立即结束萨利赫32年的统治，抗议者不接受海湾合作委员会保护萨利赫及其家人免受起诉的建议。

Tens of thousands of demonstrators filled the streets of Sana'a, Taiz, Hudaida and elsewhere Monday, protesting against the GCC plan and demanding that Mr. Saleh go. President Saleh has previously offered to resign, but only after new elections are held.

数万名示威者涌上台伊兹、萨那、荷台达和其他地方的街头，抗议海湾合作委员会的计划，要求萨利赫下台。萨利赫总统此前曾提出辞职，但辞职要在新选举之后进行。
