The Italian government has closed its embassy in the Yemeni capital
Sanaa as a result of a breakdown in security and is withdrawing its
ambassador and staff, the foreign ministry in Rome said on Friday.
Reuters was there:
Britain, France and the United States have already closed
their diplomatic missions this week as the Iranian-backed Shi’ite
Muslim militia known as the Houthis tighten their grip on power after
seizing the capital in September.
On Thursday, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Yemen was
“collapsing before our eyes” and slipping closer to outright civil war.
