[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. [/b]
