16 September 2012, the U.S. embassy in Yemen has suspended all consular services for the next two weeks: “The Embassy will be closed for all consular services through Saturday, September 29. An American citizen with a serious emergency should call the Embassy at 755-2000 to reach the duty officer.”

Emabassy officials are demanding that U.S. citizens get the hell out of Yemen: “U.S. citizens who are already in Yemen should depart. The security threat to all U.S. citizens in Yemen remains critical.”
