Yemen approves immunity for any of Saleh’s crimes

Before the Gulf-brokered deal, Saleh could have easily overruled Qairan’s dismissal.

In a similar move, soldiers in the central province of Marib mutinied against their commander, Brigadier General Ali al-Samqi, chasing him from their base. The soldiers accused al-Samqi, also a Saleh loyalist, of corruption. He arrived in the capital, Sana’a, on Sunday.
