April 26th Updates- Aden & Taiz!

Al-Jazeera:
According to press sources in Sana'a the signing of the Gult Initiative for Ali saleh to step down will be signed next Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi. Today's News newspaper -close to Ali Mohsen Al-Ahmar- predicted that the final signin of the initiative will be on Saturday, confirming unnamed sources, the joint meeting of the coalition of the opposition and the government given regional and international guarantees to implement the initiative.
The Organizational Committee of the Youth Revolution renewed its refusal to "the initiatives that only serve the authoritarian regime". They also said that they will continue with the sit-ins and will escalate the situation until the demands are acheived, fall of the regime and trail of Ali Saleh and the corrupted figures. They said that the Gult Initiative is a "walk away" for the regime, when the JMP declared the acceptance of the initative after receiving weird guarantees.
