that it could handle its own mounting security challenges without any
direct foreign intervention, pointedly warning Washington to learn the

Prime Minister for Defence and Security, Rashad al-Alimi, told a
crowded news conference in the capital, Sana’a, that the government did
not want foreign troops on its soil.

reinforced by Foreign Minister Abukar al-Qirbi, who told CNN that
fighting militants was “the priority and the responsibility of our
security forces and the army”.’
