Morocco criticises occupation of UAE embassy in Sanaa

The Kingdom of Morocco has condemned in the strongest possible terms the occupation of the UAE Embassy's building and evacuation of the staff in the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, by al-Houthi militia.

The Kingdom's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation said in a statement carried by Maghreb Arab Press, on Thursday, that "The Kingdom of Morocco strongly condemns this criminal act, which is a flagrant violation of international law and diplomatic norms pertaining to the immunities enjoyed by foreign embassies."

It added that it is a desperate attempt to thwart efforts of the Arab coalition to restore the security and stability to the sisterly Republic of Yemen.
