"The Embassy of the Republic of Yemen in Washington, D.C. reiterates the
Government of Yemen’s strong condemnation on the attack on the
U.S. Embassy compound in Sana’a, Yemen. Furthermore, the
Government of Yemen condemns any and all acts of violence against diplomatic
personnel and facilities. We strongly urge all those that would wish to incite
others to violence to cease immediately.
Given
recent regional events, earlier this morning, angry protestors have
unfortunately flooded the security perimeter of the U.S. embassy in Sana’a,
Yemen and breached the embassy’s wall. Security services have quickly restored
order to the Embassy’s complex. Fortunately no casualties were reported from
this chaotic incident. The government of Yemen will honor international
obligations to ensure the safety of diplomats and will step up security presence
around all foreign missions.
