LONDON â Former Yemeni ambassador to Syria Ahmed Al Hassani, who sought political asylum in Britain, said he did not make any contact with Saudi Arabia nor did he get any funds and assistance from the kingdom.
âThe leaking of news by the Yemeni government that Saudi Arabia had financially made arrangements for him in the UK was absolutely incorrect,â Al Hassani said. | House of Saud Individual Retirement Accounts, not just for the US State Department any more |
He also denied any contact between him and the government of the Yemeni President Ali Abduallah Saleh. âI have not received any offer to return home and assume any post,â he said.
He said he had quit his post, and refused to return to Sanaa because he championed a national cause, and after realising that âthe dream of unityâ was shattered, he was not ready to return to Yemen under the present rule. | âthe dream of unityâ "One Turban To Rule Them All.." |
