SANA'A, Nov. 21 (Saba) - The Sana'a
Grouping announced on Saturday full support for Yemen, saying they must stand by
the country
in tough times, Sudan's President's counselor Mustafa Othman said.
The announcement was made as a delegation that comprised of senior officials from
the grouping countries including the counselor of Sudan's President Mustafa Othman,
Ethiopian
Foreign Minister Seyoum Mesfin and Djibouti Foreign Minister Mahmoud Youssouf
arrived in Sana'a.
We were ordered to head for Yemen to assure it about our governments' firm stance
towards its unity and stability and their refusal to any meddling in its internal
matters,
Othman said.
Meeting president Saleh and other senior officials, the African officials also said
that destabilizing Yemen's security and stability is meant to destabilize the
grouping
and that the interest of Yemen is with the country being unified and stable.
Yemen's security is a part and parcel of the Horn of Africa security, they said.
We are concerned about what is happening in Yemen, hence we came here to assure the
Yemeni government and people about our support, they added.

the developments in Yemen, particularly the situation in the far north where the
army
is battling the Houthi insurgents.

the region, expressing confidence the Yemeni government under the leadership of
President
Saleh can overcome all obstacles.
