Yemen's president Saleh signs power transfer deal (that makes four, who's next?)

Yemen's president signs power transfer deal

(CNN) -- Yemen's president became the fourth Arab leader forced from power this year when he signed a deal Wednesday aimed at ending his country's months-long political crisis.

The deal, brokered by the Gulf Cooperation Council and signed in Saudi Arabia, allows Ali Abdullah Saleh to retain the title of president for three months but requires him to hand over executive powers to Yemen's vice president.

The agreement cleared a key roadblock in the transition to a new era for Yemen, which has been the scene of violent protests for months as Saleh's opponents demanded that he leave power after 33 years in office.

1. I think Asaad as well, but my doubt is that he will go easily. My thoughts go out to
the oppressed Syrian's.

2. What about Saudi Arabia and Bahrain?
They should go first.

3. A couple thousand people have been killed in Syria since March, how many in SA & Bahrain?

It's a serious question, I don't know the numbers for those two.
