Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh has said that he will step down from power within the “coming days”.
Mr Saleh has appeared to be ready to resign several times, but pulled out of deals to stand down at the last moment.
He returned to Yemen unexpectedly last month from Saudi Arabia where he had been receiving treatment after his office was shelled in June.
He is faced with protests and an insurrection by renegade army units.
