Following the resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Friday, a spokesman for the opposition in Yemen called for similar change there.
‘Mubarak’s fall proves that oppression and use of force can not add life to the current regimes,’ said Mohammed Al-Qubati, a spokesman for Yemen’s largest opposition coalition, the Joint Meeting Parties, on CNN. The ‘time for change has come.’
‘What happened in Egypt is the biggest peaceful revolution in recent history, and the map of the Arab nations will change as a result of the revolution,’ he said.
