Jonathan To Evacuate Nigerians In Conflict - Torn Yemen by Benfaco: 9:39am On Apr 11, 2015 |
[b] The Federal Government is making arrangements to evacuate Nigerians from conflict- torn Yemen , the NAN reports. A source in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told NAN in Abuja on Friday that no fewer than 46 Nigerians had already been identified in Yemen . The source, who preferred anonymity , said the Nigerian government had been in constant touch with the Nigerian Mission in Saudi Arabia for the implementation of the plan . According to the source , the delay in the evacuation was because Nigeria did not have a mission in Yemen . “ Nigeria is evacuating its citizens in Yemen and a list of Nigerians in the country has already been compiled. “ The first list has no fewer than 46 Nigerians identified to be resident in the country . Already, the Nigerian Mission in Saudi Arabia is coordinating the evacuation . “ Nigeria does not have a Mission in Yemen but Nigeria’s mission in Saudi Arabia is coordinating the evacuation , ” the source said. The source said Nigeria was committed to safeguarding the lives of its citizens wherever they are in the world . NAN reports that governments of several countries including Germany, France, Russia, India, Egypt and Somalia have sent ships to transport their citizens home from Yemen . However, the US has said there were no immediate plans to evacuate its citizens from Yemen . The US State Department ’s website states : “ There are no plans for a US government - coordinated evacuation of U. S . citizens at this time. “ We encourage all US citizens to shelter in a secure location until they are able to depart safely. ” In mid- February , the US government closed its embassies in Yemen and evacuated its personnel. Last month, all Yemen ’ s airports shut down operations amidst heavy fighting , making it nearly impossible to leave the Gulf state by air . Since March , a Saudi- led coalition has been launching airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen as part of the campaign to restore the government of fleeing Abd - Rabbu Hadi.
