A day after the death of Muammar Qaddafi, the United Nations Security Council that authorized the bombing of Libya took action against another Arab leader clinging to power: Yemen’s Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The council unanimously approved a resolution calling on Saleh to implement a Gulf Cooperation Council-brokered deal. Under the plan, he would resign and transfer power to his deputy in return for immunity from prosecution for his family and inner circle.
