KTC, seems many are 'bugging out'...
Maybe, they want to avoid another 'Benghazi'.

UAE closes embassy in Yemen as violence continues

The United Arab Emirates has joined several Western countries and Saudi Arabia in closing its embassy in Yemen. The move comes as the security situation in the country deteriorates still further.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Saturday announced the closure of its embassy in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, citing an "increasing deterioration of the political and security situation," according to its foreign ministry.

It has become the latest country to close its mission in Yemen, after Germany, Italy, France, Britain, the Netherlands, the United States and Saudi Arabia made similar announcements in the past few days.

The moves come as the Shiite Houthi militia continues to tighten its grip on Yemen after taking formal control of the country two weeks ago, dissolving the government and parliament.

The Houthis, who call their takeover a "revolution" aimed at toppling a corrupt regime and avoiding economic ruin, are now continuing their armed push southward.
