Like other dictators in their political death throes – former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Libya’s Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, for example – Saleh has warned of the dangers the world would face if he is forced to depart: the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda attacks, Iranian regional hegemony, and the breakup of Yemen.Après moi le déluge seems to be the sole justification he can offer for his continued rule.
Al igual que otros dictadores en sus agonías políticas - el ex presidente egipcio, Hosni Mubarak, y el coronel libio Muammar Kaddafi, por ejemplo - Saleh, ha advertido de los peligros a que se enfrentaría el mundo si se ve obligado a irse: la Hermandad Musulmana, ataques de Al-Qaeda , la hegemonía regional de Irán, y la fragmentación de Yemen.
