Yemen’s former President Ali Abdullah Saleh pauses during an interview with Reuters in Sanaa
Yemen’s former President Ali Abdullah Saleh pauses during an interview with Reuters in Sanaa May 21, 2014. Other Yemeni officials may have looted public funds, but Saleh says he was not one of them and he has challenged his authorities to find one dollar acquired inappropriately and hold him to account. His critics in Yemen, an impoverished country of 25 million where 40 percent of the population live on less than $2 per day, accuse him of embezzling billions of dollars during his 33 years in power.
