Yemenis furious about US assassination drone strikes...

Furious about the US terror drone attacks on Hadhramaut Province on Friday, which claimed the lives of at least eight people, the Yemenis said that the attacks also violate one of the main goals of the revolution, which is to build an independent Yemen free of all types of foreign intervention.

Yemeni activists called on the government to bring to an end the drone attacks on Yemeni regions, particularly the southern provinces.

“Where is the government? [Where is] the prime minister and the president? Why can’t they stop these attacks? What right does America have to violate our airspace and conduct air attacks on different parts of our country?” Yemeni activist Yahya al-Souar told Press TV.

“We tell the government that the independence of this nation is the primary demand of the revolution. So we stress that the US military intervention is unacceptable,” Sana’a University student, Adel al-Mansouri noted.
