Yemeni Politician Underscores Strong Opposition to US Military Presence in Yemen


 
 


"The US military presence in Yemen is unacceptable and is a violation of our sovereignty and a threat to Yemen and its neighbors' security and sovereignty," Secretary-General of Yemen's Hizb al-Haq Party Hassan Zaid told FNA on Saturday.

He added that the US military presence will undermine Yemen's free decision-making process and will turn the country into a US military base.

Elsewhere, Zaid praised Iran's support for Arab and Muslim nations, specially the Palestinian nation, and underlined his party's strong opposition to the efforts made to turn Yemen as a base for war on Iran.

Meantime, the Yemeni people angry at their government and Washington for the US attacks against different parts of their country in which hundreds of innocent civilians have been killed launched an anti-US-drone-attacks campaign in social networks.

By writing different texts and sharing abundant footages and pictures of their killed and wounded countrymen in the social networks, the Yemeni activists underlined their opposition to the US attacks against the country.

Observers believe that the Yemenis are also concerned that the US aggression against their territories will provoke the extremists to join al-Qaeda terrorist group and therefore the officials of the country will pay more attention to fighting the al-Qaeda instead of fighting poverty, corruption and joblessness.

People in Yemen also hold almost weekly anti-US rallies across the country after the last week's Friday Prayers to express their anger over Washington's interference in Yemeni affairs and its deadly drone attacks in their country.

The protestors want their government to sever ties with Washington and the expulsion of the US ambassador. They have also called for the expulsion of US Marines from their country.

Washington uses its assassination drones in Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Somalia, claiming that they target the terrorists. The attacks, however, mostly lead to massive civilian casualties.

The United Nations has censured the US drone attacks as targeted killings, stressing that they flout international law.
