Italy calls on Yemen to stop violence
2011-04-06
Or no more bunga-bunga for you!
ROME -- Italy called on YemenÂ’s government to cease all forms of violence against demonstrators and open the way for peace talks on reforms, the foreign ministry said on Tuesday.

“The foreign ministry is following with great concern the evolving situation in Yemen and strongly condemns recent episodes of violent repression that have killed and wounded victims,” its statement said.

Italy said it hoped the “legitimate aspirations” of the Yemeni people for democracy and improved economic and social conditions were being heard and would lead to “a peaceful and orderly transition.”

“Italy expects the Yemeni authorities to cease all forms of violence.”
That should do it. Lunch?
