Gulf bid to end Yemen crisis nears collapse.

As Ali Abdullah Saleh refused to step down, the deal to end Yemen's political crisis is nearing end.

Since the last three months, at least 140 people have been killed in the government's clearout on the protesters.

If the unrest continues in Yemen it shall risk the stability of the region that is home to important shipping lanes at the southern mouth of the Red Sea.

The GCC nations' foreign ministers had a meeting in Riyadh on Sunday and said they were sending the council's secretary-general, Abdullatif Bin Rashid Al-Zayani, back to Yemen to try to salvage the deal.
