Persian Gulf states want Saleh to step down

The states "hope to reach a deal with the Yemeni president to step down," Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem Al Thani was quoted as saying by QNA state news agency on Thursday.

Hundreds of thousands of people have turned out for regular demonstrations in cities, including Sana'a, Aden, Taiz, calling for corruption and unemployment to be tackled and demanding President Saleh step down.

Some 40 percent of the population live on $2 a day or less in the country, and a third face food shortages.

The protests have been met by riot police or supporters of President Saleh armed with knives and batons.

Saleh has said he will not seek another term in office in 2013 but has vowed to defend his regime "with every drop of blood."

The death toll in the country has reportedly surpassed 300 since anti-government protests began in late January.
