Oh, Yemen and the US Did Not Sign a New Miltary Agreement?
I see. Yemeni Chief of Staff Ahmed Ali al-Ashwal in a statement to SABA news agency said the US and Yemen concluded an agreement on enhanced intel sharing, military training and new equipment. And the news went all around the world. But it was a lie.
Deal or no deal? No deal, Howie. The US clarified what actually happened. Both the Embassy and the Pentagon issued a statement. (The two sides signed the minutes of the meeting, not a new military agreement.)
WASHINGTON (AFP) – The Pentagon said on Friday the United States had not signed a military cooperation deal with Yemen, refuting a report from Sanaa’s official news agency
“There were no agreements signed,” spokesman Bryan Whitman told AFP…Yemen’s official Saba news agency said on Wednesday that the two countries had signed a military cooperation agreement during talks in the capital Sanaa.
Its very difficult to believe anything coming out of the Sana’a regime on any topic.
