Answer

Saleh relinquished his presidency in February 2012, bringing an end to his three-decade-long rule. In the face of nationwide protests and international pressure, he signed an agreement brokered by Gulf Cooperation Council, transferring power to his deputy Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi. This development marked a significant turning point in Yemen's modern history, paving the way for a transition government and the hope of democratic reforms.
