Germany Urges Citizens to Leave Yemen Immediately
2011-05-15
[Yemen Post] Germany called on its citizens to leave Yemen as soon as possible because the possibility to continue the flights to and from the country will be not ensured due persistent unrest.

Meantime, the German citizens should stay indoors and avoid rallies and riots, the Foreign Ministry said, as it circulated emergency emails and numbers.

Last week, an official at the Ministry called to bring to justice those responsible for killing the antigovernment protesters in Yemen, warning:" the violence is not the solution to the political vacuum and deepening problems in the country."

The official also urged all Yemeni parties to be careful because the future of their country should come through peaceful dialogue and brave reforms.

" President-for-Life Saleh
... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence...
should not waste the current opportunity as the GCC countries are continuing their mediation effort to ensure a peaceful transition of power. Saleh should sign the GCC West-backed initiative and start its implementation immediately," the official said, as the western concerns about Yemen continued amid the unrest, Al-Qaeda and military and social status.
