美英法駐也門使館因局勢動盪關閉

The United States, Britain and France announced the closure of their embassies in Yemen because of deteriorating security conditions in the country.

也門安全局勢日趨惡化，美國、英國和法國宣佈關閉駐也門大使館。

The U.S. State Department said late Tuesday that its embassy staff had been moved out of the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, while Britain announced early Wednesday that its staff had been withdrawn. France will close its embassy on Friday.

美國國務院星期二晚間宣佈，駐也門使館人員已轉移出薩那。英國星期三清晨表示，英國駐也門使館人員已經撤離。法國定於星期五關閉大使館。

"Recent unilateral actions disrupted the political transition process in Yemen, creating the risk that renewed violence would threaten Yemenis and the diplomatic community in Sana’a," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement. "The United States remains firmly committed to supporting all Yemenis who continue to work toward a peaceful, prosperous, and unified Yemen. We will explore options for a return to Sana’a when the situation on the ground improves."

美國國務院發言人莎琪發表聲明說：“最近的單方面行動干擾了也門的政治轉型過程，由此可能再度發生暴力，對薩那的也門人和外交人員構成威脅。美國仍然堅決支持所有也門人繼續致力於在也門實現和平、繁榮和統一。我們將研究所有選擇方案，在當地局勢改善後重返薩那。”

The U.S., Britain and France all advised citizens not to travel to Yemen, and for those already in the country to leave.

美國、英國和法國都建議本國公民不要前往也門，並敦促目前在也門的本國公民撤離。

Yemen has been mired in political turmoil for months. Last month, Houthi Shi'ite rebels took over the residence of President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, prompting him and his Cabinet to resign. The rebels finalized their takeover of the country last Friday, announcing they have dissolved parliament and are establishing a new presidential council to run Yemeni affairs.

數月來，也門政局動盪。什葉派胡塞叛亂分子上個月佔領了哈迪總統的官邸，迫使哈迪及其內閣辭職。上星期五，叛亂分子正式接管權力，宣佈解散議會，並將組建一個新的總統委員會來處理政務。
