Protesters Demand Expulsion of US Ambassador from Yemen

Thousands of protesters in Yemen’s Northern province called for the expulsion of the US ambassador from their country for his interference in Yemen’s affairs.

During the massive rallies, protesters also strongly condemned the interference in Yemen’s affairs by US Envoy to Yemen Gerald Feierstein.

The protesting people once again called for the materialization of the real causes of Yemen’s revolution, a report by the media office of the Leader of Yemen’s Houthi Movement Seyed Abdelmalik al-Houthi said,according to FNA.

The protest came a few days after Feierstein tried to link Yemeni separatist moves to Iran. Yemen’s state news agency (Saba) cited Feierstein as accusing Iran of supporting South Yemeni leaders trying to revive the formerly independent state of South Yemen.

In reply, Iranian officials cautioned that the western media and officials are endeavoring to darken the relations between Iran and Yemen through releasing fake reports and raising baseless accusations against Tehran.

Anti-regime demonstrators hold Saleh responsible for the killing of hundreds of protesters during the uprising. The Yemeni people urge that Saleh and his allies should stand trial for their massive crimes and massacre of the people.

Yemen’s new president Mansour Hadi took the oath of office before the country’s parliament earlier in 2012. He replaced Saleh, who ruled the country for 33 years before leaving office in a power transfer deal after over a year of political turmoil.
