Yemen’s President Ali Abdullah Saleh said he would offer no more concessions to his opponents and warned that his nation faces chaos, as a senior military official and former ally of the embattled leader called for him to step down.
“Yemen is a time bomb,” Saleh said in an interview with Al Arabiya television, according to a transcript published yesterday by the state-run Saba news agency. “Everyone will side with his tribe, and we will then end up with a destructive civil war.”
