Despite early public skepticism and a serious coup attempt in late 1978, Saleh managed to conciliate most factions, improve relations with Yemen's neighbours, and resume various programs of economic and political development and institutionalization. More firmly in power in the 1980s, he created the political organization that was to become known as his party, the General People's Congress (GPC), and steered Yemen into the age of oil. In the late 1980s, Saleh was under considerable international pressure to permit his country's <a href="/wiki/Yemenite_Jews" title="Yemenite Jews">Jewish</a> citizens to travel freely to places abroad.
