International pressure is mounting on President Saleh to step down from power in Yemen and accept the Gulf Cooperation Council, GCC, proposal for power transfer in the country, a ruling party said.
The source said that the United States and European Union are pressuring Saleh to agree to the proposal to save Yemen and the region from more bloodshed and instability.
Saleh accepted the GCC proposal a month ago but has not signed it yet.
According to the official, the Saudis do not want to force Saleh in signing the proposal because the Republican Guards and Central Security Forces are still in the hands of his son and nephew.
