Ansarullah reacts to allegations of attack on US embassy in Sanaa.
The head of the Yemeni Supreme Revolutionary Committee responded to a claim by a US State Department spokesman that the US embassy in Sanaa had been attacked and its staff detained.
Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, chairman of the Yemeni Supreme Revolutionary Committee and a senior member of Ansar al-Islam, responded to the US State Department’s allegation of attacking the Yemeni embassy in Sanaa.
According to the report, a US State Department spokesman last Thursday called for the release of local US embassy staff in Sanaa, adding that Ansar al-Islami gunmen had “attacked” the US embassy, which has been closed in Sanaa since 2015.
The spokesman went on to call for the immediate evacuation of the US embassy and the return of all its belongings.
Reacting to the remarks, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi wrote on his Twitter page: “The US embassy has been evacuated and the salaries of local embassy staff in Yemen have been cut off since almost 2019, and now they are claiming an attack on the embassy and arresting staff.”
He added: American gentlemen! Pay local employees; It is gratitude to cut off the rights of those who served you in the catastrophic situation in Yemen. You left them like what happened in Afghanistan.
In 2015, when the coalition invading Saudi Arabia launched an offensive in Yemen, most diplomatic teams from various countries left Sanaa.
