Report: Yemen President Agrees To Sign Transfer Of Power Deal With Opposition 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In Yemen, reports are emerging that Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh
and the opposition have agreed to sign a new deal for a transition of
power. An earlier plan required Saleh to resign within 30 days of
signing–but it is unclear if that condition is also part of this
modified agreement. On Tuesday, Yemenis marked 100 days of protest
against the government.

Mohammad Al-Rythan, Yemeni protester: "After 100 days, we are more
determined, more determined to overthrow the regime, we are not leaving
the square until the regime is ousted."
