SANAA – Abdullah Alsaidi, Yemen’s ambassador to the United Nations, has resigned in protest over violence against demonstrators, a Yemeni Foreign Ministry official said on Sunday.
“Mr. Alsaidi has sent his resignation to the president’s office and the Foreign Ministry,” the official said.
The resignation came after two prominent members of Yemen’s ruling party also resigned in protest against the killing of dozens of anti-government protesters during a rally on Friday.
