Hundreds of anti-Houthi Yemenis rally at UAE Embassy in London to show support for Saudi-led Arab Coalition

LONDON, 6th October 2015 (WAM) --- Hundreds of members of the Yemeni community in the UK have rallied at the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates to show support for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and the Saudi-led Arab coalition undertaking operations to restore legitimacy to their country. The Yemeni demonstrators waved the flags of the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, held up placards bearing pictures of the leaders of the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and shouted slogans against the rebel Houthi group and militia loyal to the ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh for wreaking havoc on Yemen and carrying out terrorist, murderous and destructive acts against the Yemeni people. Firas Al Yafea, head of two pro-coalition campaigns to thank the two Gulf countries, and editor-in-chief of Yemeni media organisation Al Hakika Press, stressed that their efforts to liberate Aden from the rebel militia will always be remembered by the Yemeni people. He added that the demonstration shows gratitude to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, and President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates for their efforts to save Yemen from the terrorism being perpetrated by the Houthis and their ally, former president Saleh. Fawaz Hanbala, co-ordinator of the campaign supporting the United Arab Emirates, said the demonstrators took to street to thank all those who conducted Operation Decisive Storm that saved Yemen from the brutal, flagrant and wrongful aggression. Abdul Rehman Al Mutaiwee, Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates to the UK, received members of the #ThankYouUAE campaign. – Emirates News Agency, WAM -http://www.wam.ae/en/news/emirates/1395286358227.html
