Yemen's Saleh urges opposition for talks
Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh urged his opponents yesterday to join talks to end a two-month-old political crisis as fresh clashes erupted between his troops and protesters seeking to finish his 32-year rule.
With US pressure mounting on Saleh to negotiate his exit, Saleh accepted an invitation by Gulf Arab states to hold talks with opposition in Saudi Arabia.
Saleh, who ignored a transition-of-power plan offered by the opposition Saturday, accepted the Arab Gulf states' invitation and urged to the opposition to follow suit.
Meanwhile, two dissident soldiers and three other people were killed in Sanaa yesterday.
