SAN'A, Yemen—President Ali Abdullah Saleh of Yemen agreed to step down on Wednesday after 33 years in power, becoming the fourth Arab leader swept away by protests this year and launching his violence-wracked country into a new era of uncertainty.

President Ali Abdullah Saleh of Yemen agreed to step down on Wednesday after 33 years in power, becoming the fourth Arab leader swept away by protests this year. Jeffrey Grocott has details on The News Hub.

The president, who had steadfastly refused to sign a deal that would pave the way for his exit, made a surprise trip to Saudi Arabia, where he signed off on a deal to transfer power to Vice President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi within 30 days. The agreement calls for a new president to be elected within three months and would hand significant power to opposition parties, Yemen state television and opposition officials said.

Hopefully Saudi Arabia does not try to meddle with Yemen after this.

That's the question.
