Aid officials tell him: There’s a monkey in the garden, make it smile and we’ll give you $1 billion in aid.
Saleh whispers in the monkey’s ear and the monkey smiles.
Aid officials tell Saleh: Now make the monkey cry and we’ll double the aid.
Saleh whispers in the monkey’s ear and the monkey’s eyes swell up in tears.
UN officials tell Saleh: If you get the monkey to commit suicide we’ll triple the aid.
Saleh whispers in the monkey’s ear and the monkey commits suicide by jumping off a nearby rooftop.
Aid officials tell Saleh: Now tell us what exactly you told the monkey each time and we’ll quadruple the aid.
Saleh: When I told the monkey I was head of state, the monkey smiled. When I next told the monkey I ruled over 20 million people, the monkey cried. And when I last told the monkey to get ready to fly back with me to Yemen, the monkey committed suicide.
